Glasgow City Mission has reported 31 placements in the past week, finding accommodation for people who would have otherwise been sleeping rough.
The Overnight Welcome Centre (OWC) opened on December 1, with individuals being helped to find accommodation since. Since the cold snap that began last week, they’ve seen a spike in people seeking shelter and successfully found a place for 31 of them.
Glasgow City Mission has said it is committed to tackling rough sleeping, and has been running the OWC since 2020 - with the service based in their Crimea Street building this year.
