May 2014 – Flat completed in Kennington

A one bedroom flat in Kennington has been completed by PHASES under the Empty Homes Community Grants Programme. The flat had been empty for over 5 years, having been left by the owner when his wife had died. Over the years the owner had found it harder and harder to return until one of our volunteers painstakingly went through all of the belongings he had left behind with him. Renovation work was then able to start and the flat now provides high quality accommodation for social rent.
