Housing Overview

Those who:

• Are 60 or over
• Have entitlement to Housing Benefit or with limited financial means
• Have a local connection to Bristol or Monmouthshire

All of our accommodation contains unfurnished 1 and 2 bedroom flats with separate kitchen, lounge, bathroom and own front door. Each flat is carpeted throughout and has a fully fitted kitchen with integrated oven and hobs. There are also onsite communal facilities for assisted bathing.

The accommodation for older people schemes have a floating support team who will ensure the well-being of residents and provide advice and guidance on housing and support issues.

In addition, all the flats are connected to a control centre for emergencies including out of hours. The Charity maintains the gardens for the use of the residents, and carries out all maintenance work to the properties.

If you are eligible for full housing benefit, your weekly maintenance charge will be covered by the City Council. You would then pay the Charity a weekly heating & light charge.

You would be responsible for the payment of council tax (unless exempt), TV licence (unless you are 74 years or over and you or your partner receive Pension Credit), telephone bill and any other services you may wish to have, eg: Sky TV, Broadband etc.
