Dr. Jess Steele has dedicated her efforts to converting derelict buildings in Hastings into affordable homes, investing £85,000 of her own money into the project. Leading Hastings Commons, a community group, she aims to revitalize the area severely impacted by housing shortages and poverty. With support from local volunteers and various grants, the group transformed Rock House and other structures into living spaces and work areas, fostering a strong community focus amid a nationwide housing crisis.
