Charity seeks proposals to co-locate homeless accommodation with private-sector uses

A charity that supports young homeless people in the capital has launched an ideas competition to explore ways to deliver hostel accommodation alongside new private development.

New Horizon Youth Centre’s drive focuses on a disused London Underground station a mile from its central London headquarters.

Competition judges include McAslan & Partners founder John McAslan, and practice associate Heather Macey, deputy London mayor for housing James Murray, and Channel 4 News anchor Jon Snow, who is patron of New Horizon.
