Manchester's Empty Homes Team Revives Vacant Properties

Manchesters Empty Homes Team transforms fire-damaged houses into homes for homeless families, reducing vacant properties by 53% since 2013. However, 1,500 properties still remain vacant. Greater Manchester faces a bigger issue with 12,824 empty homes. Councils struggle with social housing demand, with Manchester having over 21,000 bids and Salford and Rochdale with high-need lists. Owners face challenges like probate and repair costs. New funding and strategies aim to revive these homes, reducing temp housing costs and providing stability for vulnerable families.
