Safe houses for women and families

We have safe houses across South Gloucestershire including houses for women and children, a house for single women, and a house for women with complex needs.

The housing is direct access and women and children can move in immediately if there is a vacancy and can stay for up to six months.

During their stay we will provide emotional and practical support including benefits, legal options, staying safe and support to help victims to move on to alternative accommodation. Children will also have their own worker and can access play therapy and play activities.
