The Scottish Office has published new research into the use of reasonable preference in the allocation of Scottish social housing.
It was commissioned as part of the Scottish Government's commitment to review the reasonable preference categories - following recommendations made by its Allocations Policy Advisory Group.
The research provides a useful insight into landlords' experiences and views of the strengths of the reasonable preference framework, as well as those areas that could be improved.
It will support the development of proposals to reform social housing allocations inline with the commitments in Homes Fit for the 21st Century. The intention is to consult on proposals for reform later this year.
The full research report and a summary are available on the Scottish Government's website - to access it click here.
