The report seeks approval for the Council to enter into an indemnity agreement to support the Greater Manchester Housing Investment Fund (GMHIF).

To enable the establishment of the proposed Greater Manchester Housing Investment Fund and to give effect to the decision of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority of 27 February 2015, it is recommended that the Executive:
· Approves the proposal to enter into a Deed of Indemnity on the terms set out in the report; and
· Authorises the Head of Legal and Democratic Governance to complete the necessary documentation.
