Congratulating Rowan Alba on the Launch of Thorntree Mill

Lodged by Miles Briggs (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 29 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Rowan Alba on the launch of Thorntree Mill; understands that Thorntree Mill is a new home for good centre in Peffermill, Edinburgh, created in partnership with Common Ground Against Homelessness; further understands that Thorntree Mill extends the provision for former street homeless men in Edinburgh, by providing nine modern, self-contained homes in a supported living environment; supports Rowan Alba's position that no one at Thorntree Mill can be "thrown out", or designated "unsuitable" or "too challenging"; recognises that Common Ground Against Homelessness has a mission to redress the inequality within the property market, which prevents housing charities from finding suitable buildings due to competition with commercial landlords and property investors, and believes that Thorntree Mill will be a living example of how to create an environment that allows people left behind by mainstream society to grow and flourish in a stable home.
