More than £3.2 billion of cash is to be shared among Scotland's councils in a bid to help build more affordable homes.
Housing Secretary Shona Robison said the funding - which is spread over five years - would give the sector the "certainty and assurance" needed to help meet the government's housing targets.
Ministers want to build 100,000 affordable homes across Scotland by 2032, with at least 70% of these available for social rent from either councils or housing associations.
Glasgow City Council, Scotland's largest local authority, will get the largest amount of cash after being allocated £537 million over the period.
Meanwhile the Orkney Islands will receive less than £18 million over the five years.
Ms Robison said that since the SNP came to power in 2007, more than 102,000 affordable homes had been constructed.
She added: "Building on this, our aim is to deliver 100,000 affordable homes by 2032, with at least 70% of these for social rent."
The Housing Secretary said: "Meeting this ambition will require continued collaboration across the private and public sectors. I'm pleased to be increasing significantly the available affordable housing grant funding for council areas to help with this important work.
"The five-year allocations will provide the certainty and assurance the housing sector needs to deliver the ambitious affordable homes target set out in our Housing to 2040 strategy."
Councillor Gail Macgregor, resources spokeswoman for the local authority body Cosla, welcomed the funding commitment.
She said: "The priority for councils, and housing associations, is ensuring rent affordability and warm, safe, comfortable homes for current and future tenants.
"As we look to recover from the impacts of the pandemic, councils are working side by side with their communities. We maintain a focus on our shared ambitions around tackling child poverty and climate change, alongside building more houses."
