HOUSING

An affordable green solution to homelessness

East Hampshire DC has the UK's first state-of-the-art housing pods. Gill Kneller says she's proud of this new way of providing emergency accommodation and hopes that many others just like it spring up across the country.

We've just launched the UK's first state-of-the-art housing pods. They will provide an affordable green solution to temporary homelessness over the next five years.

This is a fantastic project which has seen us think completely outside the box to remodel and repurpose a community centre that hadn't been used in a long time. And, we're hoping this will be the first of many projects that can transform underused buildings into emergency accommodation.
