"The need for more housing has never been as acute. The opportunity for local authorities to work with organisations like Cornerstone to develop those homes on their land is a fantastic model. Something that needs to be further explored to see how we can make that scale."

"I'm a big advocate of this kind of partnership and this kind of development in preserving our history and giving it that new lease of life. The building was fit for purpose back in the day, and now we have revitalised it to fit a new purpose for a new time."

"The work that Cornerstone does is incredibly important - not just for those people who are, or at risk of becoming homeless, but also for our local councils by providing them with a high quality but cheaper alternative to using local hotels."
