Cheltenham YMCA has announced plans to repurpose Ermin Hall, a student residence in Gloucester, into temporary housing for homeless individuals. The redevelopment aims to provide much-needed accommodation for vulnerable people in the community while addressing the shortage of emergency housing options.
This initiative will see Ermin Hall transition from student halls into a supportive living space. The facility will offer safe and stable housing, helping residents move towards independent living. By utilizing this space, Cheltenham YMCA is responding to the growing demand for homeless housing solutions in the area.
The project is currently under review, with consultations ongoing to ensure the redevelopment meets community needs and regulations. If approved, the transformation of Ermin Hall will mark a significant step in providing interim housing and support services to Gloucester’s homeless population.
