Homelessness in Manchester Surges, Government Unveils New Plan
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
New data reveals a troubling surge in homelessness in Manchester and the North West, with one in every sixty-one people in Manchester and one in every three hundred and eight in the North West without a home. The government unveils a £3.5 billion plan to combat the crisis, aiming to halve long-term rough sleepers and prevent more households from becoming homeless. However, local officials and Shelter warn that more action is needed, including a commitment to building 90,000 new social rent homes each year for ten years, to tackle the root causes of homelessness.
