There are 5 hostels in the cluster ranging from high, medium to low support which are all based in the borough of RBKC. The

Heaney Cluster an intensively supported housing scheme for the most challenging customers in the borough. The majority of the customers come with a history of entrenched rough sleeping; often coupled with enduring mental health difficulties.
