Project 500: affordable homes on smaller sites
Smaller council-owned sites can add affordable homes alongside Manchester’s large regeneration schemes. The January update separates completed homes from sites still awaiting building work.
51 first-phase homes complete at the January 2026 update; further phases planned · evidence dated 2026-01-14
Responsible body: Manchester City Council and Manchester Housing Provider Partnership
Latest evidence: The council describes 517 planned affordable homes across 35 sites. Of 357 first-phase homes, 51 were completed; the rest were on site or had permission. The second phase comprised 160 homes. These January stages are not a claim that the later timetable has been met.
