240 Newtownards Road
A Community-led Housing Project
This project has been generously funded by Urban Villages, Ulster Garden Villages, Benefact Trust, Garfield Weston and local churches, businesses and individuals. 240 Newtownards project is a unique, community-led housing initiative aimed at transforming an empty building into six apartments and a community space dedicated to fostering good relations. The project provides a pathway for individuals transitioning from hostel accommodations to more permanent housing, which in turn frees up hostel spaces for others in need. It promotes increased independence for residents while ensuring they still have access to essential support services. Overall, this project takes a holistic, community-based approach to housing, creating a supportive environment where individuals can thrive.
Our clients have told us they need..
“A house that is for the long term, not for a short term and moving around a lot.”
“A private house. For me the most important thing is for a place to be safe and clean. It needs to have a good area, like a small flat. Safety is the most important thing for me.”
“Somewhere secure. A private apartment where my family could visit me.”
