Is the North West Broken? - Ending the Housing Crisis
A recent report by the National Housing Federation (NHF), North West Broken Market, Broken Dreams, has revealed the fragmented extent of the housing crisis in the region. The housing situation in the North West is recognised through the work being carried out by the Greater Manchester Combined Authorities (GMCA) in the preparation of the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF), which will guide growth in the Greater Manchester region up to 2037.
There is a divided housing situation in the North West in terms of levels of income, house prices and need which create a unique crisis that is problematic to tackle, but nonetheless must be. The region has strong, confident cities with aspirations for significant economic growth, which the housing offer in the region should seek to reflect and support.
