Description

The GMCA Council Empty Homes and Leasing Programme (Council EHLP) aims to bring in to use properties that have been empty for 6 months or more. The properties will be used to rehouse families who are currently living in Temporary Accommodation (TA) or at risk of moving into TA.

Rochdale Council has received a grant funding offer to deliver a minimum of 32 homes for the Council EHLP.

The funding will be used to bring empty homes back into use via a repair and leasing approach that incentivises property owners to allow their properties to be used to rehouse families currently residing in or are at risk of residing in Temporary Accommodation. The properties will provide an additional TA portfolio for council use, with a secondary aim of helping to improve the quality and affordability of the locally available TA offer.

All properties need to be located in the borough of Rochdale.
