📊 During a single-night snapshot count last November, council teams counted 89 people across the 10 boroughs of Greater Manchester - the first time since 2013 that the number of people sleeping rough had fallen below 100. 🧵

Many thanks to Steve Coffey for being our North West regional chair over the past few years! It’s been a pleasure working with you and I’m looking forward to continuing to do so with your new role as chair of Homes For The North Congrats to Wayne Gales our new NW regional chair 👏 👏

Our red line on #RightToBuy was that every single social home sold would be replaced. Recent pilots show there is not enough money from sales to build new social homes. Our priority is to build homes for the 4.2 million people in need of #SocialHousing in England today.
