A DERELICT grade II listed church building is being turned into temporary housing for the homeless.
The 250-year-old Clergy House in Barkerend Road has deteriorated since it was last used over a decade ago, and is now regularly vandalised and used by squatters.
But under regeneration plans the building is to be converted into five flats for family groups, while a new build of single-bed flats for rough sleepers is planned for a neighbouring plot of land.
The £1.3 million Bradford Council scheme is being run with help from the team at Bradford Cathedral.
