We currently own and manage 140 high quality, long term homes and provide tenancy management service for a further 166 social and affordable homes for other organisations. In total, we provide homes for more than 520 people.

Who We Help
The women that we help come from a range of backgrounds and vary in age. They all have one thing in common – they have experienced housing crisis – and in many instances have been on the brink of homelessness. Unfortunately, many have also experienced domestic violence.
How We Help
We provide long-term housing solutions that change women’s futures for the better and break the intergenerational cycle of poverty.We work with a range of partners to expand our housing portfolio, broaden our impact, and above all to prevent women’s homelessness.
Our Impact
A 2024 social return on investment evaluation conducted by Think Impact, found that for every $1 invested in WPI, more than $11 of social and economic value is created.
