THE number of people made homeless in Scotland last year fell to its lowest in a decade.
However, there were still 23,796 homeless applications to local authorities between April and September.
The figure is a 20% decrease compared with the same period the previous year and it was welcomed as "great news" by Graeme Brown, director of Shelter Scotland.
