The council<\/a> will commit to revising the overall number of homes to be delivered in the city\u00a0from 20,000 to 32,000, meeting the right mix of housing to meet demand between April 2015 and March 2025<\/h2>\n

At least 6,400 of these homes will be affordable to Manchester people \u2013 meeting the Council\u2019s 20% affordable homes ambition for new housing delivery in the city. The ambition set out is that new affordable homes should be equally split between social housing<\/a>, affordable housing and shared ownership properties.<\/p>\n

Between April 2015 and March 2019, 1,044 new affordable homes were completed in the city, with a further 1,061 on site to be completed by March 2021 \u2013 with additional 969 in the pipeline (with land and funding secured) to be delivered by the same date.<\/p>\n

In addition to these schemes a further \u00a355m will be used to fund three affordable homes projects \u2013 the North Manchester New Build project, affordable homes development in Brunswick, including an Extra Care scheme, the Silk St project in Newton Heath and 130 social homes in Collyhurst as part of the first phase of the Northern Gateway programme<\/a> \u2013 delivering 465 homes in the coming years when the funding is fully approved.<\/p>\n

Strengthening existing partnerships with Homes England to maximise grant funding for home building, as well as key links to the city\u2019s Registered Housing Providers as delivery partners that can unlock grant funding, will be the essential platform to deliver the Council\u2019s affordable housing target of a minimum of 6,400 new homes over the ten years to March 2025.<\/p>\n

The Manchester Housing Providers Partnership works closely with the Council to help meet the city\u2019s housing challenges and is linked to the Our Manchester strategy. These providers will deliver a significant proportion of the city\u2019s future affordable homes and are expected to help unlock around \u00a3380m in development funding between 2021 and 2025.<\/p>\n

Housing Providers will also work collaboratively with the council to deliver Project 500, a proposal that will build 500 affordable homes on small sites across the city (25 homes per plot) \u2013 bringing smaller, often more difficult, sites into use.<\/p>\n

Working directly with developers, section 106 negotiations will continue with all planning applications measured against a starting target of 20% affordable homes. Where applications do not commit to this, developers will be required to include a public viability assessment \u2013 and a mechanism is now in place to review development profitability that will allow the Council to hold developers to account and claw back money if the development is more profitable than expected.<\/p>\n

The Council\u2019s Affordable Housing Fund \u2013 populated with s106 contributions \u2013 has already invested \u00a32.4m into affordable housing in the city, with nearly \u00a3342k in the fund ready to use.<\/p>\n

The Council is currently investigating the potential of Community Led Housing<\/a> that allows residents to come together to lead the design and delivery of affordable new homes. The government has begun a three-year pilot that the Council expects to link into to support three trial plots in the city.<\/p>\n

Suzanne Richards, Manchester City Council\u2019s executive member for housing and regeneration, said: \u201cManchester has undoubtedly been in recovery for some time following the financial crash in 2008, but we hope to see a high watermark of new affordable homes over the next two years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese affordable housing targets are ambitious \u2013 as they need to be \u2013 and we will work closely with our housing partners across the city, and Homes England, to ensure we can make them a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n
