A new supported living building in Nottingham will provide housing for 20 homeless men. Framework Housing Association received planning permission for the 20-flat development, which will replace a vacant lace factory. The project is part of the Single Homeless Accommodation Programme, aimed at helping rough sleepers and those in precarious housing situations. The building will feature 24/7 staff support and CCTV, ensuring the safety of residents and the surrounding community. Framework hopes to complete the project in 2026.
A new supported living building will aim to get 20 homeless men off the streets of Nottingham. Framework Housing Association developed plans for the new 20-flat development in 10 Alpine Street, Old Basford.
Staff will be on site 24/7 with controlled access to provide support for the residents, along with CCTV to “avoid detrimental impact on the local community” according to Framework. The design of the development was changed in October 2024 after a planning officer raised concerns over the quality of living space in the units, daylight and external details.
Mr Newmarch said the charity is “most grateful” to the council for a £200,000 contribution towards the scheme, allowing it to become “financially viable”. He added: “The principal funder is the government’s Single Homeless Accommodation Project however without the City’s additional help, and despite Framework’s own contribution, we would not be able to proceed.
