Accommodation

We’re part of the Survive and Thrive Partnership. Find out more here.
We have four refuges across the Bradford District. We offer safe accommodation for single women or women with children in a range of shared and self-contained units, rooms or flats. Our largest unit can accommodate up to 7 children. The accommodation service also has a portfolio of dispersed properties across the Bradford District, ranging from 1 bed flats to 4 bed houses.
Staying Put can support male victims by offering accommodation within the dispersed service. We can also support people who have no recourse to public funds providing that the council or another agency is able to support financially with rental costs and living costs.
Please note that our refuge provision is a female only space. Our dispersed accommodation is trans inclusive.
