Emmaus Bradford: Charity turns care home into homeless accommodation

A charity hopes to create 26 rooms for people who are living on the streets or sofa-surfing.

A homelessness charity has started work turning a former residential care home into accommodation for rough sleepers.

Emmaus took ownership of the Bradford site with plans to create long-term housing for up to 26 people.

Workers will staff the accommodation to teach skills that can help residents move on independently when ready.

Fran Graham from the charity said “it will provide a community for as long as people need it”.
