Daisyhouse, a registered charity and Approved Housing Body has supported women out of homelessness.Women become homeless for different reasons- domestic violence, sexual abuse, sexual violence, addiction, ill health, relationship breakdown, trafficking, coming out of state care, loss of income and other complex traumas. All of the women who are referred to us have faced a combination of these complex challenges. When this happens, they need support, time and a safe space where they can start to rebuild from the trauma of their past experiences, feel safe and secure and, in time, move forward in their lives. Daisyhouse provides this support, time and safe space. Daisyhouse provides supported temporary accommodation combined with uniquely tailored individual personal support programmes to women who are homeless. We provide this service for 18 month periods so these women can break the cycle of homelessness and be empowered to move forward to independent sustainable living.
