Winter emergency accommodation for homeless individuals is now open in Hereford.

Herefordshire Council is once again partnering with CCP (Caring for Communities and People) to deliver the Herefordshire Winter Night Shelter for 2024/25, providing vital accommodation for those who would otherwise be sleeping rough.

This year, a new partitioned area has been created to provide women with a safe and private space. The emergency accommodation will be available from 8pm to 8am, providing support for both men and women who are currently sleeping rough.

Herefordshire Council’s Rough Sleeper Outreach Team will be working with a wide variety of partners to ensure that appropriate support is arranged for people who access the shelter.
