A "tidal wave" of homelessness could hit Salford in coming months as people struggle to cope with the rising cost of living, a housing boss has warned.
The city's head of supported housing Rachel Connelly spoke out after data revealed the number of families at risk of homelessness in England had risen by almost a quarter in the last year.
In Salford, numbers in temporary accommodation rose 238% in four years.
The government said it was supporting councils to tackle homelessness.
Ms Connelly said: "We know the homelessness tidal wave is coming.
"The funding position is going to get worse and that people are not going to be able to afford their rent.
"We have a compassionate workforce who take into account family situations."
