Changing the housing market and improving people’s lives

There is a chronic shortage of housing in the UK, affecting thousands of people in different ways. There are rising levels of homelessness, quality affordable housing is in short supply, and vulnerable people, such as rough sleepers, people fleeing domestic abuse, and people with a disability, face a lack of suitable housing and the support they need.

Providing safe homes for women

Hull Women’s Network (HWN) offers specialist domestic abuse support, nursery provision, and access to safe and affordable housing across Hull. Property ownership lets HWN offer comfortable and safe homes for vulnerable women and children, making it possible for them to stabilise and rebuild their lives.

HWN received investment to buy 82 homes from Social and Sustainable Capital’s Social and Sustainable Housing fund, and its Community Investment Fund, which Better Society Capital has invested £26 million across both funds. By buying homes to use as supported accommodation and move-on homes, the charity can support women for longer than two years. Time and money spent on grant applications can now be diverted to other resources.
