Manchester City Council update - The new Manchester Housing Allocation Scheme
This latest Manchester City Council update shared information on the review of the Manchester Housing Allocation Scheme.
The Manchester Housing Allocation Scheme sets out the principles and rules by which people apply for social housing, including who qualifies to join the housing register and how the council prioritises who gets a home.
Manchester’s housing situation has changed significantly since 2011. There has been a significant rise in homelessness and the associated cost of the rising number of households in temporary and supported accommodation is unsustainable.
