A new pioneering scheme set to help young people at risk of homelessness secure purpose-built housing has been launched in Stirling.
The project is a collaboration between Stirling Council, Barnardo’s Scotland and the construction firm Morris and Spottiswood and will see five specialist ‘gap homes’ built in the city.
The homes will be specifically designed for young people leaving the care system, with the gap homes providing high quality, affordable housing for care-experienced young people in an established community.
