The homes in Thompson Avenue, Ettingshall will become the first new council homes to be built in the city since a development was created in Pendeford in the 1980s.
A planning application has been submitted to Wolverhampton City Council and regeneration chief Peter Bilson said he wants planning permission to be granted 'as soon as possible'.
He revealed work is likely to start by the end of the year – earlier than was originally expected. Developers Kier had said building would begin some time next year, but Councillor Bilson said he was keen to 'get the project moving'.
