These affordable studios are intended for young adults who represent a significant portion of housing waitlists. Sidwell Studios hosts job training from St. Sidwell's Community Centre as well as a communal garden. Exeter is working with the local police's Designing Out Crime unit on measures like bike lockers and cameras to protect residents.
