Jimmy's Night Shelter Assessment Centre

The request was successful.

Dear Cambridge City Council,

I note that in March 2008 Jimmy's Night Shelter in Cambridge was awarded a £3m grant from the Department for Communities and Local Government(1). As I understand it one of the things this was to be used for, in conjunction with funds from the council, was to create a 20 bed "assessment centre" for homeless people.

Could you please release details of the current status of this project including the latest timeline for its completion.
