The Housing Supply Task Force was established in 2007 to identify and tackle impediments to increasing the supply of housing across all tenures so that people across Scotland can access suitable housing that meets their needs and demands.
Chaired by the Minister for Communities and Sport Stewart Maxwell, the task force includes representatives from COSLA, the Council of Mortgage Lenders, Homes for Scotland, the SFHA and Shelter Scotland.
In May 2008, the task force issued a public statement on its progress since inception. The statement was accompanied by a ministerial foreword.
