Vicars Street completed

Work is now complete on 15 one-bedroom apartments at Vicars Street, Eccles. This is the final scheme in the £3.9 million project to provide 39 new homes for people facing homelessness in Salford.

The scheme, aimed at tackling homelessness, sees people from across Salford who find themselves with nowhere to live move into new homes let at a low-cost sub-social rent.

Vicars Street is the third in the series of these developments, following Haddon Road early in 2020 and Somerset Road in October. The homes are already creating new possibilities for tenants. You can read some of their stories at www.forhousing.co.uk

Homes really are the first step on the journey to building a better life and with full support and a wraparound service, tenants are given the opportunity to rebuild their lives.

The homes are furnished, and the rent includes all bills and WiFi. Every tenant is allocated a dedicated worker and provided with support to link them into employment and training and enable them to access new opportunities.

ForHousing has worked closely with Salford City Council on the development, with the council helping to select people to move into the homes.
