Clarence House, St John’s St, Bedford, MK42 0AH

Clarence House is a purpose-built hostel with 29 self-contained studio apartments and a team of support staff, including specialist support officers to assist residents with a range of complex needs.

It comprises en-suite studio flats and an emergency bed, enabling residents to live independently while being supported by on-site specialists.

There are also communal areas, a computer suite, a training kitchen and staff kitchen.

On-site training and workshops enable our residents to develop the skills, confidence and resilience that will help them to move away from life on the streets.

The scheme also offers a ‘move on’ service for those who have been helped with their complex needs, to make sure they don’t return to a cycle of homelessness.

To live here, customers must be referred to the service by the local council.

When people are given a place each individual gets a support worker, a personal support plan, and bespoke skills advice to help them achieve more independent living.

Customers are allowed pets and can stay up up to 18 months depending on their circumstances.
