Salford City Council in the UK has given approval for the development of 25 affordable homes at two city sites, aimed at offering supported spaces for young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

The approval was granted by the council’s Planning and Transportation Regulatory Panel on 6 February.

The first development, located on Bridgewater Street in Little Hulton, will feature three two-bedroom and four three-bedroom family homes.

These family houses will be designed in a traditional terrace style with off-street parking and secure rear gardens.

Additionally, eight one-bedroom apartments will be built to provide accommodation for people aged 18 to 25 years.

Salford City Council’s wholly owned housing company, Dérive, will own and manage the new affordable homes.

The second project on Tully Street South in Higher Broughton will offer ten self-contained apartments specifically for young individuals facing homelessness.

Each apartment will include a single bedroom, bathroom, and storage space.

Similar to the Bridgewater Street development, the Tully Street South project will be managed by Dérive. The project will be delivered under the Single Homelessness Accommodation Programme, a government-led initiative.

Salford City Council councillor and lead member for housing and antipoverty Tracy Kelly said: “Affordable supported accommodation is such an important stepping stone for helping people get back on their feet and is a vital step between homelessness and getting their lives back on track.

“The new, spacious low-energy apartments will help tackle youth homelessness and the underprovision of young persons supported accommodation in the city.”

Salford mayor Paul Dennett said: “There is real need for schemes such as these in our city, with over 5,000 households on the city’s housing register and over 6,000 homeless presentations made to the council in 2023-24. It’s vital we continue to work to provide truly affordable housing in our city.”
