Huge congratulations to Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership’s (HSCP) Homeless Health and Asylum Service (now called Complex Needs and Asylum Health Services) who were announced as the winner of the People's Choice Award at the Scottish Health Awards 2021 on Thursday, 4 November.

Hundreds of vulnerable homeless people are receiving their first Covid-19 vaccinations in Glasgow as teams of nurses visit temporary accommodation and support services to provide injections.

Now known as the Overnight Welcome Centre, the emergency accommodation for people at risk of rough sleeping in winter will be provided in a Glasgow hotel, rather than in Lodging Housing Mission in East Campbell Street.

A brand-new multi-agency advice and support hub for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness was opened on 24 September in Glasgow’s Argyle Street.

Staff and service users at the Glasgow City HSCP Chara Centre in Possilpark have been using the good weather during lockdown to maintain the centre’s garden.  The social work centre provides emergency homeless accommodation for 27 females from all walks of life and cultures.

Teams across the council family have been working hard throughout lockdown to make sure that there are enough temporary furnished flats available for homeless households who need them.

New dad, Michael Wright, plans to jump out of a plane at 10,000ft to thank Glasgow's Housing First scheme for helping him rebuild his life after homelessness.

The James McLean Project (JMP) provides accommodation and support to homeless young men and women aged 16 to 21. The team at the JMP in Barmulloch has launched an App, which will transform the way they communicate with their service users.

Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership has been shortlisted in the Health and Social Care category for this year’s Local Government Chronicle Awards 2019 for the redesign of Homelessness Services to a Housing First approach.

The Winter Night Shelter is located at the Lodging House Mission in East Campbell St. The service begins at 10pm every night (including weekends, Christmas and New Year) from 1 December 2018 to 31 March 2019. The service has a capacity for 40 individuals who are offered a bed for the night in warm surroundings with breakfast in the morning.
