The cost of building the new homes was not provided. The Mayor of Salford is seeking re-election for a third term in office in May.
He said: "We need a revolution when it comes to council housing, we desperately need more homes built for social rent to tackle the housing and homelessness crisis.
"The scarcity of affordable housing and homelessness continue to be major issue for residents in the city, with numbers of people presenting as homeless and numbers in temporary accommodation increasing year on year."
Conservative councillor Robin Garrido, leader of the opposition at Salford council, said: "I agree we need more homes, that's extremely important. But I don't believe Dérive is the vehicle to achieve that.

A local educational advisory body in Manhattan has adopted a non-binding resolution calling on New York City Public Schools to prevent transgender female students from playing on sports teams matching their gender identity.On March 20, Community Education Council 2, which covers a swath stretching from Lower Manhattan to the Upper East Side, approved a resolution urging New York City Public Schools to form a review committee to propose changes to the department’s current gender guidelines.Since 2019, the city has allowed transgender athletes to compete on sports teams that align with their gender identity. Critics of the current transgender participation policy argue that key stakeholders — female cisgender athletes, coaches, parents, medical professionals, and evolutionary biology experts — were either ignored or not consulted about the potential ramifications of such a policy.The resolution, which passed by a vote of 8-3, urges the school system to receive and consider input from those stakeholders when considering whether transgender student athletes should be eligible to compete in female-designated sports.The purpose of seeking that input is to ensure cisgender females are not denied opportunities to earn team roster spots, titles, awards, and scholarships, or other honors.“Girls and women lose when their hard-fought and won sports opportunities are ignored in favor of replacing sex with gender identity as a category,” said Maud Maron, the lead sponsor of the proposal.Maron is the president of “parental rights” group PLACE NYC and a former congressional candidate who earned less than 1 percent of the vote in the 2022 Democratic primary for New York’s 10th Congressional District.
