They said stepping back was the hardest decision they had made and were anxious and scared about what will happen to the families that had been working with.
That's a sentiment echoed by other agencies and our mayor Steve Chadwick, who acknowledges again the growing demand for housing.
So what happens now? Other agencies will step in to fill the void left by Love Soup but will it be enough? Mrs Chadwick has called on the Government to respond.
That response needs to be quick. It's already a disgrace there are people sleeping in cars and on the street. With winter coming, no more help from Love Soup and the housing shortage showing no signs of abating, the need for solutions just got even more urgent.
Suicide has been in the news a bit lately, which is great. Not great that people are taking their own lives but that it's starting to be talked about.
The family of Mark Dunlop have spoken out today about their son - a young man who seemed to have the world at his feet before he took his own life a year ago during Crankworx.
His death shocked the mountain biking community, who tonight are holding a ball in Mark's honour to raise awareness about suicide and concussion - something his family believe played a part in his decision-making.
We hope their bravery in sharing his story might just prevent more loss of life. Talk to someone, reach out. It's a message that can't be repeated too often.
