Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) guidance note MHDGN 2022/01

This guidance note contains revised guidance for local authorities who prepare a Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) and supersedes MHDGN 2021/01.


The Scottish Government expects local authorities to monitor delivery of affordable housing referenced in a SHIP against their LHS outcomes and Local Outcome Improvement Plans to identify how LHS policies are being translated into operational delivery. 

The SHIP should be published on the local authority’s web page. A web link to the published SHIP should be provided to the relevant Scottish Government More Homes Division local contact and confirmation provided when this has been done.
