How many one-bedroom properties there are, also broken down by tenure, and how many of these are allocated to people deemed to be homeless.

There are an estimated 312,000 one bedroom properties in Scotland, 165,000 of which are in the social rented sector. The following table provides a further breakdown by tenure.
An estimated 20,000 one-bedroom properties become available for let each year in the social rented sector. In 2011-12, it is estimated that 9,120 of these properties were allocated as permanent lets to people deemed to be homeless. It is estimated that a further 760 homeless households took up one bedroom lets in the private rented sector.
Information on the allocation of one bedroom properties to homeless households is only available for housing association/Co-Ops, from the SCORE data collection. The estimates for local authorities and the private rented sector are derived by applying the same rate of one bedroom allocations as a proportion of all allocations to homeless households, as recorded for housing associations/Co-Ops in SCORE.
