 Clarence House, a complex needs
and supported housing project in Bedford has opened.
The 29 bed Clarence House will
provide 24-hour specialist, intensive
support to some of Bedford’s most
vulnerable people so they can they
break the cycle of homelessness.
By giving targeted and supported
accommodation, local people
with complex needs will be able
to take steps towards long term
independence. The scheme will
also offer a ‘move on’ service for
those who have been helped by the
complex needs element, to make
sure people don’t return to a cycle of
homelessness.
