This briefing has been prepared by the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (SPICe) in collaboration with Dr Gareth James from the UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (CaCHE). It draws on a roundtable discussion co-organised by, and jointly delivered with, colleagues from Shelter Scotland, Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA), Association of Local Authority Chief Housing Officers (ALACHO), Scottish Futures Trust and Rettie & Co.

The briefing considers alternatives to the established tenures of Owner Occupation, Private Rent and Social Rent in Scotland.
