New apartment block for young people at risk of homelessness given green light

The former home of Heaton’s Bakery in Wigan will make way for a new apartment block for young people at risk of homelessness.

The three-storey tower block will provide 38-homes at an affordable rate for people aged between 16 and 25 - who are deemed at risk of becoming homeless. Your Housing Group, who describe the Boundary Street site as a ‘Foyer facility’, run numerous other similar social housing developments.

The apartment block will allow young people to live independently, whilst being close enough to lines of support if needed.
