Summary:

Greater Manchester, England, with the second largest urban population in the United Kingdom, has the third highest population of rough sleepers (people living on the streets). In 2017, the first elected mayor pledged to end all forms of homelessness, adding that the city's property boom on luxury apartments benefitted only a few while pricing others out of housing. Manchester community stakeholders--public, private, and nonprofit--formed a unique partnership to build assisted temporary housing for unsheltered people. A developer donated land under railway arches where the Embassy Village team will build 40 transitional housing units. Local construction companies offered their services pro bono or at cost, businesses pledged jobs to the residents, and a Christian charity agreed to manage the Village, select future residents, provide wrap-around services, and help residents find jobs so they can live independently after a maximum stay of two years. How and why did all these disparate entities engage and align around a common mission?.
