Ty Fesen is a two storey building in the centre of Caerphilly (very close to both the train & bus stations). There are 13 almost fully self-contained units within the scheme, i.e. 10 units with two bedrooms and 3 bedsits. Within the scheme there are several communal rooms, such as, Laundry rooms, kitchens/dining rooms and a playroom. There is office space on both the ground and first floor. Ty Fesen provides short term accommodation to households that present themselves as homeless to the Local Authority. Households include couples with children, single parent families, couples and single female/males. Residents will stay at Ty Fesen on a temporary basis for a period of approximately 3 months and are then moved on into alternative and suitable accommodation. The other Emergency Accommodation sites could consist of Hotels/ Bed and Breakfast or Larger HMO style units of accommodation. These sites are likely to differ in occupancy sizes and would have a range of facilities some of which could include shared communal spaces/ bathroom etc. They are likely to accommodate families or single person / couple households.
