Off The Streets homelessness charity is delighted to announce the opening of it’s new shelter on 24/2/25 at 3 Trinity Ave, Westcliff-on-Sea , Essex, SS0 7PU.

The charity purchased the building which was a former hotel, in February 2022. Having received the necessary planning permission to convert the property into a shelter, we embarked upon an extensive refurbishment programme to ensure we met the standards required for an HMO licence. This has been achieved despite major challenges along the way which saw our original completion date slipping by almost two years together with spiralling costs in labour & materials.

We now have a fit-for-purpose, specialist resource which can accommodate up to nine rough sleepers with higher end needs such as drug & alcohol addiction, mental health problems, physical disabilities & sensory impairment, victims of domestic abuse etc.

We are eternally grateful to the many individuals & organisations who supported us with incredible generosity over the years and without whose support, we would not have been able to realise the completion of this project.
