Empty Homes, Full Potential

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Manchester City Council is tackling hundreds of vacant homes with a bold plan backed by 80% public support—each empty property is a missed chance to house a family, reduce homelessness, and ease housing pressure. Since summer 2024, their dedicated team has brought 560 homes back into use, even solving complex ownership issues with genealogy experts and probate investigators. Residents play a key role: report suspicious empty homes online or by email, and you could be helping turn a forgotten property into a safe, welcoming home for someone in need—making a real difference in the city’s housing crisis.
