We currently provide 85 units of temporary housing in Bristol for people who are experiencing homelessness or inadequately housed. Residents stay with us until they are ready to access a suitable long term home.
We house single men who are experiencing homelessness and need support to maintain a tenancy and to prevent them falling back into homelessness. We house families who are experiencing homelessness or inadequately housed in B&B.
We recognise that everyone has their own unique history and goals. Our support workers take the time to listen, learn and understand individual needs and develop a personal support plan to help each client achieve their goals.
Our supported housing for single men experiencing homeless is accessed through Bristol City Council’s Housing and Support Register (HSR). If you already have a support worker, ask for an eligibility assessment to see if you can be referred to us using the Housing and Support Register. If you do not have a support worker to refer you, please contact BCC's Homelessness Prevention Team for an assessment on 0117 352 6800
