New properties for vulnerable Bedford residents

We are proud to have delivered much needed properties for vulnerable Bedford residents.

Recently, we worked with Grand Union Housing Group to complete 18 specialist modern apartments for adults with mental health needs.

The completion of the much-anticipated Gatehouse Mews complex comes as the UK faces a devastating housing crisis and the demand for supported housing is on the rise.

Deborah Stuart, Director of Wellbeing & Safeguarding at Grand Union said, "At Grand Union we are not just passionate about building properties but providing houses where vulnerable people can live independently. Through working with local authorities, we are delighted to have completed this milestone complex which will enable those with mental health needs to have their own home. As part of our vision to build better lives and stronger communities, every customer in this property has access to our Life24 telecare alarm service which brings a sense of independence by helping them comfortably in their own homes."

Councillor Wendy Rider, Portfolio Holder for Adults Services at Bedford Borough Council, said "It is great to see the opening of these new homes. These 18 properties will provide specialist supported accommodation, enabling people with mental health needs to live independently and creating this much-needed resource locally."
