The projects we will be taking over are a supported housing scheme for six vulnerable people and a small scheme that will provide temporary accommodation for homeless people.

We will also be running a small drop in centre for people in the town centre, this will provide a valuable resource for people who are homeless and in need of support.

All of this work is very much in our tradition of developing projects in local communities that add something to the community. We hope that the formal parts of the take-over will be complete by the end of October 2003 and that we can begin some of the refurbishment work required to bring the accommodation up to a good standard.

In the future we hope to develop more housing for rent in Ulverston and also develop some training and employment schemes. We will keep people posted.
