A project to build 36 new social rent homes on the site of a former care centre in Sheffield has been supported with a £4.1m grant from the government.
Sheffield City Council has been awarded the money to develop Bolehill View, at the site of a former community care facility on Eastfield Road, off Northfield Road in Crookes.
The scheme would see two blocks of one-bedroom flats built in an area of “high housing need,” according to the council.
Douglas Johnson, chair of the council’s housing committee, said: “Sheffield, like the rest of the country, faces huge challenges when it comes to housing.”
