Lifehouse Coventry

The Lifehouse combines a day centre and a homeless hostel which accommodates single homeless people, including rough sleepers. 

This new 4-storey building was built for The Salvation Army and consisted of 80 bedrooms. Each group of 8 rooms shared a cooking, eating and living area with an additional cafe on the ground floor open to the public. It also included IT training facilities and a resident’s sports bar in the communal area.

The Lifehouse combines a day centre and a homeless hostel which accommodates single homeless people, including rough sleepers.

The day centre provides meals, clothing, advice on finding accommodation, signposting, health care and a street outreach service.
