Fern House

We were appointed to deliver accommodation for the homeless to help Harrogate Borough Council fulfil their commitment to the Homelessness Reduction Act, whilst providing an up-to-date facility for the area.

The accommodation, which provides housing and support for Harrogate residents, is made up of 19 self-contained bedrooms, complete with ensuite bathrooms and kitchen facilities. The design included two purpose built fully accessible units which provided much needed space for those with disabilities.

The facility also provides laundry and kitchen facilities, a 24-hour reception desk, a large conference room as well as a meeting area. It is hoped the latter two spaces will be used by other services and community groups in the future.

As well as accommodation, Fern House provides a complete support package for individuals who are homeless as well as health and wellbeing, support for any mental health issues, financial guidance as well as any further advice or information they may require.
