Homelessness charity 'At Home in Guernsey' says it is crucial St Julian's House has free beds for emergency situations.
The Housing Committee says it is working with staff at St Julian’s House and the third sector to support residents who are ready to move out to find alternative accommodation.
It's part of efforts to re-establish Julian's House as emergency, not long-term, accommodation for those at risk of homelessness.
Many of its current residents have been living there for longer periods and have not been able to progress into the private sector or social housing.
Tailored support plans will include help to develop skills and find employment, involving case managers at Employment & Social Security’s Work Support team.
Charlie Cox, Director of At Home in Guernsey, said:
“As part of our collective vision to end homelessness in Guernsey it is crucial that there are emergency beds available at St Julian's.
"To do this, we need to establish strong move-on pathways for individuals that cater for a variety of circumstances."
