Interesting walking around May Place as the refurb starts.
If you’re worried about someone sleeping rough, please make an alert via StreetLink using the link in the comments 👇
Alerts help connect people sleeping rough quickly with support services, including emergency accommodation, advice and practical assistance from the Basingstoke and Deane Social Inclusion Partnership, which we are part of.
Alongside this immediate support, we are continuing our work to strengthen longer-term support for people at risk of homelessness too. Work started this week to refurbish May Place House, emergency accommodation in Basingstoke town centre, after we purchased the building earlier this year. The refurbishment will create a more supportive space, with accessible rooms, ensuite facilities and better areas for one-to-one support.
Support will continue to be provided while the work is underway. May Place House is expected to reopen in the spring, with a specialist housing and support provider being brought in to run the service. Find out more using the links in the comments 👇
