Teenage families to get new homes

A new housing scheme has been created to help homeless teenage parents in south Devon.

Matlock House in Torquay consists of six furnished flats for young people and their babies.

It is the third such scheme in the Torbay area. There is accommodation for vulnerable families in Coverdale House in Torquay and Steepway in Paignton.

The Westcountry Housing Association said there was still a lot of demand for such accommodation in the area.
