Sheltered Housing

We have 8 sheltered housing schemes based in Gloucester, which provide accommodation for people over 55, who wish to stay independent in their homes.

Each scheme has an officer onsite to assist with tenancy related matters and helping residents to stay independent and safe in their homes.

The properties are a mixture of one and two bed properties and many have onsite communal facilities for the community to use.

How to Apply

We are unable to take any direct applications for our sheltered housing as allocation is run through Homeseeker Plus, whose website you can visit using this link.
