Shropshire Council has said the venue offers better accommodation than unsuitable provision such as B&B's.
Dean Carroll, cabinet member for housing and assets, said the building had become "a bit of an eyesore"Former parish rooms in Bridgnorth are set to be converted into accommodation for homeless people after Shropshire Council bought the vacant building.
The authority said it wanted to increase the accommodation it had to offer rather than place people in unsuitable lodging such as B&B's. The site has been unoccupied for more two years and under the plans will be converted into units for single people.Dean Carroll, cabinet member for housing and assets, said: "The parish rooms are for people in Shropshire experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness, who have additional support needs to help them get back on their feet and enable them to move on to their permanent home."
He said the building had become "a bit of an eyesore", but improvement work would give the building a new lease of life.
