Residential Unit

The residential unit contains 54 long term beds. The aim of the unit is to deliver safe and secure temporary accommodation, whilst preparing and supporting residents for a move to longer term housing. Most residents are successfully resettled within two years of arrival.

Each resident has a tailored support plan to progress them towards resettlement. Formerly marginalised and isolated women are encouraged to get involved in resident committees and achieve a level of control over their own lives. This change often gives them the confidence to face and address the causes of their vulnerability.

Excellent working links are maintained between Bradbury House Residential Unit and GPs, Westminster Primary Care Trust, Educational Establishments, Drug Counsellors, the Police, Westminster City Council Officers and Community Mental Health Teams. Residents can also take training courses in health and safety, recruitment, personal safety and protection from abuse.
