Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) reports a surge in homelessness, leaving thousands of adults and children in hostels and B&Bs. The region is set to spend nearly £75 million on temporary housing this year due to the crisis.
Greater Manchester is set to spend nearly £75 million on temporary housing this year in the face of a homelessness surge.
The problem is also being fuelled by rising rent prices, GMCA said. A report on the issue stated the problem has become "unsustainable" and stated the need to boost affordable housing. Mr Dennett said only 42pc of the money spent in the region on temporary housing can be reclaimed through housing benefit subsidy - meaning the region is losing a huge amount of that cash.
