As in previous years, we block-booked Ihirteen self-conlained rooms in a local B&B from l Deceinber 2023 to 31 March 2024 and served 26 clienls oul of a possible 47 referred to it. Thi5 year, the demographics and diversity ranges were broader than last year; we Saw employed clients.

We also supported guests in accessing the agency Services offered al the Cenlre and referred some to appropriale support agencies, including the Drug & Alcohol Forward Trusl and ihe Haven. We found housing solutions for twelve cltenls (3 were housed before the Shelter opened and two by Porchlight); six failed to engJagie, two were evicted, and three were accommodaled when insufficient lime was left for a successful move-on. This left Ihree for a few week5 in the B&B while we continued lo support thein with iheir 'Inove-on' plans. The challen&>e of finding suitable Imove-on Opiions persisled this year, but we continue lo be nimble and find ways to help our clients noi return to the streets.
