Plans for a raft of new affordable homes across a number of sites in north Manchester is set to be approved by the city council’s executive.
External funding as well as council investment have been confirmed for two major schemes that will deliver around 135 homes which will be affordable for Manchester people.
The council has secured £8.43 million from the council and £2.85 million from the Homes and Communities Agency’s (HCA) Shared Ownership and Affordable Housing Programme to help build 25 shared ownership and 50 affordable rental products.
In addition, 20 new homes will be bought on the Booth Ha development in North Manchester. The homes will be funded by a £2.108 million investment by the council and a £345,000 grant from the HCA.
Bernard Priest, deputy leader of Manchester City Council, said: “These properties fill a definite requirement for high quality, affordable homes in the city. We know demand is far outstripping supply, so it is important that we can use as many funding opportunities as possible to help deliver the homes people need at a price they can afford.
“I’m particularly pleased that through these schemes we will be able to provide genuine routes on to the housing ladder, which is sadly missing for many people living in the city.
"We will be getting on site quickly for each of these schemes to get the homes to market and start providing much needed homes to Manchester people as quickly as possible.”
