Northampton Borough Council is facing criticism for not getting a new homeless shelter open in time for Christmas.
The emergency night shelter was originally due to open to rough sleepers in November, in what used to a social club.
However, the council says a lack of volunteers means it has to be put back until the new year.
The council has budgeted £70,000 or the new night shelter - it needs at least 60 volunteers to run it. Only half that number have come forward.
