The Stirling Project will include 25 self-contained affordable homes to rent – up to 12 of which will be self-built by former service personnel in need of housing.

Our Alabaré Veterans Self Build team will be working alongside LiveWest, who are a housing association based in the south west, and who have acquired the land from Plymouth City Council.  Our team will be identifying the veterans to work on the scheme, the majority of whom will have previously been homeless.

Taking inspiration from the award-winning Nelson Project in Plymouth - a development born from a vision to deliver a flagship housing scheme to help veterans learn construction skills in addition to having somewhere to live - the new development will start in late spring and take around 18 months to complete.

During the course of the build, the veterans will earn valuable experience in construction that will help them develop the skills needed to engage with the project and gain valuable job-based skills.

The Alabaré team will support each veteran to overcome the personal challenges that had led them to struggle in their civilian lives, and to gain the skills to successfully maintain their new homes and tenancies.

Thanks to funders LiveWest, Plymouth City Council and Salesforce (vetforce) for their continued support.
