Housing market need and demand survey

Salford Housing Needs Assessment 2007

Fordham Research Limited was commissioned to carry out this study in order to provide the evidence base for a number of key pieces of work including Salford's housing strategy, other key strategies, and the development of planning documents.

The housing needs assessment has identified:

the future housing need
level of affordable housing needed by size and type
housing need of particular groups i.e. households with support needs, and Black and Minority Ethnic communities
key influences and drivers of housing market change.

The study has provided a wealth of information, data and a robust evidence base on:

Current housing market, covering house prices, tenure, migration, travel to work, overcrowding, private rented sector, student households, key workers, and financial capacity
Current and future housing need
The requirements of different household types - households with support needs, Black and Minority Ethnic households, Gypsy and Travellers & Travelling Showpeople
Policy implications in respect to housing markets, new housing provision, targets for affordable housing, and overall housing targets
