Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many applications have been made to the Tenant Hardship Loan Fund, also broken down by how many have (a) been approved, (b) been rejected and (c) yet to be processed; how much has been paid to date in total, and what the average award has been.
Answer
This information is not yet available as the Tenant Hardship Loan Fund, as announced in August’s Programme for Government, opened for applications on Monday 7 December 2020.
The Scottish Government have worked at pace with our loan administrators to develop the application and decision processes, along with the online application portal. We expect statistics on a monthly basis, allowing for the holiday break we would expect the first full statistics to be available from mid-January.
