The Scottish Council for Single Homeless (SCSH) is the national membership body in Scotland for organisations and individuals tackling homelessness. Our members include voluntary sector providers, housing associations, local authorities (LAs), academics and other professionals involved in homelessness prevention and alleviation.
We have been in existence for thirty years. During that period SCSH has evolved from a volunteer based organisation focused on ending the provision of traditional nightshelters to a professional staffed membership organisation – part of the ‘second tier’ of voluntary sector bodies. Historically, SCSH has focussed on single people but now seeks to cover all issues relating to homelessness in Scotland.
