A YOUTH homelessness charity is still seeking support for an emergency funding appeal in a desperate bid to keep one of its Bradford hostels open.
Centrepoint inherited Albert House, in the Heaton area, late last year, but the building has suffered significant weather damage and may be forced to close its doors.
The roof is said to be leaking badly, and the damp conditions may force the seven residents to re-locate.
Martin Gill, director of housing and support for Centrepoint North, said the damage needed to be fixed urgently before the hostel becomes “uninhabitable”.
Working with Bradford Council, Centrepoint became responsible for looking after homeless young people across the district in November 2013, catering for up to 328 people aged 16 to 25.
