The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the news that the first of 15 modular nest houses have arrived at the new Harriet Gardens development in Rutherglen; understands that the supported accommodation village has been built to support those affected by homelessness by the charity, Social Bite, in collaboration with South Lanarkshire Council; notes that the transformation of the former brownfield site will include shared cooking facilities, as well as spaces for group activities, therapeutic support and social connection; understands that the day-to-day running of the village will be managed by the Salvation Army, which will deliver specialist, round-the-clock support and provide the tools and opportunities residents need to stabilise their lives, develop skills, access employment and transition successfully to independent housing; notes that this new development builds on the successful model of Social Bite’s Edinburgh Village, which has helped more than 100 people who have experienced homelessness transition successfully into their own homes, reconnect with family and build strong connections with their local communities; understands that the village is due to welcome its first residents early in 2026, and wishes all those involved in this new project all the very best for its success.
