OUR SIX KEY PROPOSALS

1. At least 30% social homes included in all new developments of over 10 units to be enacted in local policy and enforced through the setting and enforcement section 106 obligations.

2. Stronger public accountability and scrutiny for the setting and enforcement of developer obligations to build new social housing.

3. Establish a Commission on social housing for the City of Manchester.

4. Create specific policy for the promotion of Community Led Housing.

5. Develop a practical strategy for the renovation and transfer of empty homes into homes for social rent.

Our new Campaign Booklet is now available for download. This booklet has been written by members of the coalition to outline our asks to Manchester City Council, and to provide evidence as to why our asks are both necessary and achievable.
