These rooms for people at risk of homelessness in one Welsh town might surprise you

A spacious bedroom equipped with a TV and its own ensuite might not initially be what you picture when you imagine the accommodation provided for someone who is homeless, or at risk of homelessness. And if there were such places to stay, you might also not envisage them being unoccupied.

But in Bridgend- such rooms are actually available and also ready and waiting for the people who need them.

At the Emmaus South Wales accommodation, to be offered a place you need to be homeless or be "insecurely housed", which means you are unable to continue living where you currently do. In Bridgend, for someone accessing the Emmaus charity's support, they will be given their own room, initially in the community house, Nant Lais.
