The city’s affordable housing stock falls short for low-income earners.

As towers rise on the skyline, homeless people and low-income earners are often forced into shelters when the city’s affordable housing stock falls short.

In Manchester city centre, the West Tower is the latest skyscraper to open to the booming rental market. General manager Matt has over 300 apartments to rent out and starts off with free yoga classes in the penthouse to raise the tower’s profile.

But as towers rise on the skyline, Salford mayor Paul Dennett needs to find a way to build more affordable housing in the city. Homeless people and low-income earners are often forced into shelters or temporary accommodation as the city’s affordable housing stock falls short.
