Sean Clerkin, campaign coordinator of the STO, said: “The housing and homeless emergency in Glasgow has turned into a disaster where the only beneficiaries are the profiteers of human misery who are the owners of the 40 hellhole hotels in the city and they stand to rake in nearly £50 million this financial year. This is unacceptable.
“In addition, there are 366 women and 85 families, including children, being put into these horrible hotels with a 14 to 1 ratio of men to women, where women are being attacked and sexually exploited. All of this has to stop.
“The nearly £50 million that will be spent on these hellhole hotels this financial year should instead be spent on building good quality, safe and secure women-only homeless accommodation and family-centred homeless accommodation being built and controlled by the Local Authority.”
A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council, said: “We have continued to experience increasing numbers of homelessness presentations, which is to be expected given we are dealing with a housing emergency on top of the current pressures associated with Home Office decisions.
“As the numbers in temporary accommodation continue to rise, so do our costs. However, there is a great deal of work going on with partners to reduce the number of people in emergency accommodation as well as work around preventing homelessness.
“In 2024/25, almost 17,000 households approached our Homelessness Services for advice and assistance with only half of these households progressing to a homelessness application.
“Without such a significant focus on the prevention of homelessness, the use (and cost) of temporary accommodation would be significantly higher. Such preventative approaches have also ensured rough sleeping has remained less than our pre covid figures.”
