Homelessness charity, Social Bite, says that their contractors have broken ground at the new Granton Waterfront site where their village of individual homes will move to.
Josh Littlejohn, MBE, visited the site along with village residents to see the work for themselves. The site will comprise a Hub, a communal area for villagers to gather and cook, along with seven new Nest Houses. These houses have been refitted according to feedback from residents.
This location is just a mile away from the original site and has great views of the Forth Bridges.
But it is about more than homes and views with wrap around 24/7 support for residents living there – who must be “clean” (ie free from drugs or alcohol) before gaining a place.
