Summary
Rough sleeping in Greater Manchester hits a six-year high with 444 people without shelter in June — up 42 from last year — as former mayor Andy Burnham launches a national drive to end homelessness by Christmas, backed by $400 million. Manchester alone saw the biggest jump, rising from 149 to 195. Burnham urges charities and communities to join his moral mission, citing pandemic-era unity as proof of collective impact. Despite past progress since 2017, numbers are rebounding due to national policy gaps and Greater Manchester’s reputation for strong support, drawing people from elsewhere. Housing Secretary Angela Rayner agrees that tackling homelessness alone is tough, while a national charity calls the PM’s plan a pivotal moment — stressing that shelter must be paired with long-term care for lasting change.
