Dozens of Manchester's homeless to be offered a roof over their heads this winter
As winter creeps closer and the nights draw in, a vital refuge is being set up for some Manchester's most vulnerable people.
The en-suite rooms and bed spaces will be offered to people who identified as high priority and can be accessed through a referral system. The council says the aim of the scheme is to support people until they are ready to move to more permanent accommodation. Coun Joanna Midgley, Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council, said: “Manchester has made strong progress on reducing street sleeping and we are determined to maintain that despite the challenge of the cost of living crisis.
"Reducing street sleeping is only part of the story. We are also increasing our emphasis on preventing people becoming homeless in the first place, giving those facing homelessness options other than temporary accommodation and sustainably reducing the numbers in such accommodation.
