50K Affordable Homes by 2039 | Manchester News

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Greater Manchester is on a bold mission to build 50,000 genuinely affordable homes by 2039, tackling the housing crisis head-on by unlocking unused public land and reviving old industrial sites. With 10,000 homes already in the pipeline by May 2028, the Mayor is rallying every public body to identify vacant land for development — building on past successes like the Brownfield Housing Fund. Backed by a $1.8 billion government boost and her track record of delivering more council homes than any mayor in 25 years, she’s calling on all levels of government to release dormant land and accelerate progress across the region.
