More temporary homes of homeless families

Street of terraced housing

We know that supporting the homeless is a major priority for our residents. It's a major priority for the Council as well. 

Over the last year, we've purchased a number of family homes for households who are homeless.

By having these properties, we're able to help avoid more stays in expensive hotel accommodation and provide more security for people in a time of crisis. 

Here's Cllr Naeem Akhtar, Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities to explain more.
