£450,000 plans to turn Stratford building into accommodation for homeless
THE hunt has started for a developer to turn a vacant house in Stratford into homes for people who are either homeless or at risk of it.
Stratford District Council bought 1 Evesham Place – next to the One Stop – at auction with the aim of increasing the amount of supported accommodation the area has to help some of the most vulnerable people.
It is currently looking for a contractor to carry out a £450,000 project on the two-storey house to create between five and seven bedrooms which will be available on a short-term basis.
According to the brief: “This project encompasses the comprehensive design, construction/renovation, and delivery of a supported accommodation facility that prioritises the wellbeing and independence of its residents.”
The project is planned for completion in 2027.
