The new homes will be built over two floors, along with an office and two meeting rooms which future residents will be able to use.

There will also be off-street parking, as well as seven parking spaces and 28 cycle spaces and landscaped areas. It will offer high levels of energy efficiency to ensure low running costs for residents.

The homes, which will be available for social rent, will be allocated by Manchester City Council to meet local housing need as part of the Single Homeless Accommodation Programme (SHAP) and residents will receive tailored support through Jigsaw Support to help them on the path to living independently.

Funding for the development comes from Homes England and the Department for Levelling Up, Homes and Communities.
