    Brief

    The Scottish Government is seeking to support affordable housing development through Charitable Bonds, a financing mechanism that serves the third sector in Scotland. This initiative aligns with the Housing to 2040 Strategy and aims to increase affordable housing supply by providing loan finance to Regional Social Landlords (RSLs) and facilitating charitable donations. Charitable Bonds represent an investment opportunity that simultaneously supports Scotland's economy, improves citizen wellbeing, and strengthens public services while addressing the critical need for affordable housing across the country.
