2. What is the aim, objective or purpose of the policy?<br />

The Scottish Government allocates the resources within the affordable housing<br />

investment programme to the <strong>Council</strong>. This must be allocated by the <strong>Council</strong> to<br />

Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) to build new affordable housing units.<br />

In addition the <strong>Council</strong> also allocates its own funds to build new housing.<br />

The SHIP pulls all this together.<br />

Therefore the main purpose of the <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Investment</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> is to illustrate how<br />

identified needs and priorities in relation to affordable housing will be tackled, with an<br />

emphasis on how projects will be delivered in practice, having regard to available<br />

resources, partnership working and development constraints.<br />
