We aim to operate within the Greater Manchester area, and with 2.8 million people living in 1.2 million homes across ten districts, Greater Manchester and our residents are of course highly diverse. We are a large city region covering almost 500 square miles and account for one-fifth of the population and jobs in the North of England. Greater Manchester sits at the heart of the Northern Powerhouse and generates an estimated £59.6 billion Gross Value Added, making our economy bigger than that of Northern Ireland (£34.4 billion) or Wales (£55.8 billion), and the main driver of the Northern economy.
In line with trends nationally, levels of all forms of homelessness have increased in Greater Manchester over the last five years, with the ending of an assured short-hold tenancy in the private rented sector identified as the leading cause in England. There were 3,428 households accepted as homeless and in priority need in Greater Manchester in 2017/18, a 57% increase since 2011/12. The number of people sleeping rough has increased by 487%, from 41 in 2010 to 241 in 2018. If this trend is to continue then we can expect a further increase of rough sleepers in Greater Manchester, who are in urgent need of housing.
