The Social Bite Village for homeless people opened in Edinburgh on Thursday after it has received support from celebrities.
The village will create an innovative, low cost, safe living environment for up to 20 homeless people for around 12-18 months where they will receive support and training to reenter society.
The nest houses comprise of 10 two-bedroom huts, each fitted with a combined lounge and kitchen. They have been built on Granton waterfront, with stunning views over the River Forth, and have a community center for residents to socialize.
“We wanted to try to develop a different model of housing homeless people, and one that is a really beautiful community environment, one where people receive lots of support and get built up rather than marginalized,” Josh Littlejohn, co-founder of Social Bite, told AFP.
Celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have paid visits to the homeless village, according to Littlejohn.
