Whilst very basic in its accommodation, the Lorica St Patrick's Nightshelter is a real 'place for change' for people who are rough sleeping and works with a variety of local agencies to ensure our contribution to the successful achievement of Brighton & Hove's Single Homeless Strategy objectives.
The Nightshelter has the facilities to provide safe, temporary emergency accommodation for 14 homeless men. The service operates from 17:00 to 09:00 daily and offers the minimum of food, shelter, beds, showers and laundry facilities. In addition and in conjunction with partners throughout the city, the Nightshelter provides Structured Move-On Support during the day to ensure that each resident is engaged with the necessary services and/or support networks to enable their move on to more appropriate accommodation in or out of the city. Whilst not a day service, the Nightshelter does ensure that residents attend appointments as well as completing housing, welfare benefits, employment and medical paperwork. |

The Lorica St Patrick's Nightshelter continues to finance itself and does not rely on any funding from local or national government. Although we work closely with several agencies that are funded through government provision, the services of the Nightshelter complement this work to the benefit of the residents and the services themselves. |
