Our Current Projects
Selig Suffolk Springboard
We have been running Selig Suffolk Springboard since 2023. This project provides affordable, high quality, self-catering, supported accommodation for 9 adults who would otherwise be homeless.
We focus on empowering our tenants to secure employment that will enable them to fund their own accommodation.
This project is based the building that had hosted our winter night shelter during 2020-2022. We also have a two-bedroom home that is part of this project.

Previous Projects
Ipswich Winter Night Shelter
Selig coordinated the Ipswich Winter Night Shelter for over 10 years until it closed in March 2022.
From 2016/17 onwards, Selig employed staff to work with our winter shelter guests during the day, helping them to secure longer term accommodation and support. As a result, 87% of the winter shelter the guests who worked with our staff, did not, as far as we are aware, experience homelessness again.
The average number of guests using our winter shelter declined steadily and, in the winter of 2021/22, the average occupancy was just 2 or 3 people per night. We consulted widely about how best to continue to support those who become homeless.
Selig Suffolk Springboard was launched in June 2023, using the building that had been the venue for our night shelter.
