The Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA) recently unveiled its new organisational strategy ‘One Voice: Bringing Scotland’s Housing Associations Together’ at its Annual Conference in Glasgow. This strategy, developed in collaboration with members, stakeholders, and partners, aims to provide a clear focus and direction for the organization as it celebrates nearly fifty years of service.
With a renewed emphasis on professionalism and knowledge, the strategy outlines plans to strengthen relationships with members, offer innovative services, and advocate for necessary changes to support social housing in Scotland.
The strategic document highlights four key themes:
- Campaigning for change
- Leading innovation
- Remaining vital and resilient

One key aspect of the strategy is the call for social housing to become a top political priority. It advocates for a bold, clear, and challenging campaigning approach to address the pressing issues facing social housing in Scotland.
