The first batch of modular homes designed as accommodation for homeless Londoners has been assembled on a test site in Tower Hamlets.
The prototype units belong to the Pan-London Accommodation Collaborative Enterprise(PLACE), a not-for-profit company established by London boroughs with a mission to provide high-quality temporary accommodation for homeless families. The initiative is supported by £11 million of funding from the Mayor of London and represents the first collaboration between UK local authorities purchasing modular housing for this purpose.
