A NEWLY refurbished building providing safe, secure accommodation for homeless adults has opened in the Tyne Valley.
Homelessness charity StopGap supported housing are set to provide high quality accomodation for up to 13 vulnerable and homeless people from the site on Haugh Lane in Hexham.
Housing association Karbon Homes owns the building and has invested around £730,000 in an extensive reconfiguration and refurbishment programme. StopGap will lease the building from Karbon enabling it to build on its already existing homelessness service in Hexham.
Anthony Bell, assistant director of asset management and regeneration at Karbon Homes said; “This is a vital service. We have invested significantly in reconfiguration and refurbishment of the building which will help those less fortunate to build a foundation for life."
