Shropshire Council has been successful in its application for £3.4m of funding from the Government to help rough sleepers gain access to accommodation.
The Single Homeless Accommodation Programme (SHAP) funding from the Department for Levelling Up, Homes and Communities (DLUHC), aims to address gaps in specialised supported accommodation for those with a long history of sleeping rough and with complex needs, by funding accommodation with high levels of support.
Working in partnership with housing and support providers, the council will oversee the creation of 42 units of supported housing across three schemes for single people with a history of rough sleeping and longer-term support needs; as well as younger people aged 18-25 at risk of or experiencing homelessness or rough sleeping.
People will stay in this accommodation and receive personalised support until they are ready to take the next step to independent living.
