Officials at Emmanuel House hope to convert the first and second floors of its Goose Gate building to provide 20 beds
A Nottingham charity has submitted £2 million plans to transform a former dance studio into accommodation for the city's homeless community. .
Denis Tully, chief executive of Emmanuel House, said: “Our ambition is to reduce the number of people who are homeless in Nottingham city for the benefit of individual people, the neighbourhood and for the city of Nottingham as a whole. The project fits with the city’s strategic plan to tackle homelessness. It will make a significant contribution to year-round emergency respite care.
The plans will include a one-to-one meeting space, 24-hour security, a common room, a computer suite and a consultation space. There will also be rooms with disabled access. The second phase of the project will include a ground-floor renovation to update the open-access support centre. Amid Covid restrictions, Emmanuel House moved the Winter Shelter into a hotel under the Government's 'Everybody In' initiative when the government instructed all local authorities to move homeless people into single-room accommodation.
