Better Homes, Better Neighbourhoods, Better Health


Better Homes, Better Neighbourhoods, Better Health is a collaboration between Greater Manchester Combined Authority, Greater Manchester Housing Providers and Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership.

It is a unique partnership that will help many more people to live in good health - by providing good quality homes that meet their needs.

The approach builds on Greater Manchester’s pioneering work that has successfully supported hundreds of people who were sleeping rough, or were homeless, into their own stable and supported homes.

How better housing supports better health

The A Bed Every Night scheme has supported thousands of people who had been sleeping rough into safe and supported accommodation.
