Extend Scottish Governments First Home Fund past 31st March 2021

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Can we all sign this petition in order to get the attention of our government to look into extending the First Home Fund past 31st March 2021.
Currently the given situation is that anyone that is using first home fund has to be moved in by this date.

Now in these present circumstances during a worldwide pandemic and the country being put on complete hold for 3 months there will be people out there in a situation where they have purchased a new build home due to be ready early next year and has now been delayed due to Covid 19.
This then puts them at risk of loosing their home or having to remortgage in order to get these funds if they cannot be in their property before this date & any money paid will also be lost.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Your petition is about something that the Scottish Government is responsible for. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it.
