Deputy City Mayor Councillor and lead member for Housing, Property and Regeneration Tracy Kelly said: “We continue to face a critical shortage of affordable housing in Salford and amongst this, we have very few move-on options available to those who are without a home of their own.

“These apartments will therefore provide a real lifeline to those who are struggling. They will ensure they are able to have a roof above their head, an opportunity to live independently and get access to intensive onsite support to help them permanently move away from homelessness.”

At present, the council is providing accommodation for 314 people who remain at risk of rough sleeping or slept rough.
