PURPOSE OF PARTNERSHIP: In response to the growing need for affordable housing in Greater Manchester, NHPF2 is acquiring properties and leasing them to Be One Homes to provide individuals and families at risk of homelessness with a settled home. Additionally, Be One Home’s services help households with the support they might need to be able to sustain their tenancy and improve their circumstances, find employment or education, set down roots in the community and to save for a deposit so that they can eventually move into the private rented sector with a track record of maintaining a tenancy. Providing them with permanent accommodation enables tenants to feel safe, secure and settled in their homes.
The National Homelessness Property Fund 2: This fund was created in December 2020 in response to the growing need for affordable housing, providing safe and decent homes for people in housing crisis. Initially, the fund’s focus was on providing homes in the Greater Manchester region but has since expanded into Bristol, Oxford, Merseyside and London.
As of September 2024, the fund has a total of 355 properties in its portfolio and has housed just 500 people across the UK.
