Overview

Phoenix Place provides housing and low level support to women only. We can accommodate up 55 women aged 16-64. This includes pregnant women and up to 4 women with babies.

This is short term accommodation funded by Bristol City Council and we aim to move people on and into more permanent accommodation of their own within 9 months.

What we do

We believe each applicant has the right to be assessed on an individual basis and on their own merit.

We work constructively with risk to make sure our service is inclusive and accessible.

The staff team at Phoenix Place provide tailored support to women, so that they may build the necessary independent living skills and confidence to secure and maintain more independent living, through various routes such as;

• Further supported housing
• Private Renting
• Other Housing Associations
• Local Authority Housing
• Young Parents and / or Mother and Baby accommodation
• Where appropriate and safe we also work and support residents to return home to family members and /or friends.

A thorough risk assessment process is completed with applicants to help us decide on the suitability of our service for each applicant.  This may also include assessment of or discussion with other relevant people.  We also consider the current dynamic of the project when assessing any applicant. 

Women with drug and alcohol issues, serious offenders or offenders with a history of violence and related convictions will need to show a degree of motivation towards change.   This will include providing evidence before your interview of ongoing engagement with relevant specialist services.  For example, applicants with alcohol and substance misuse would need to show they have been stable for 8- 12 weeks and on some form of recovery plan.

Convictions of arson would be considered very carefully on a case by case basis.

All decisions are based on full disclosure of information and where available previous risk management plans. The causes of behaviours and risks are treated in a considered and balanced way by our trained and experienced staff.

Our assessment of need and suitability may include multi agency meetings if we feel that this will help us make a more informed decision and produce a successful outcome.

As we house women with babies, women with an offending history & convictions of harm towards children and young people will not be considered suitable for housing and support at Phoenix Place.

If it is clear that an applicant cannot be housed and supported safely at Phoenix Place, we will provide advice and guidance on other services which may better meet their needs.
