Helping residents create a safe, comfortable and sustainable home
Our Furnished Tenancy Scheme supports residents who need essential household items to set up a safe and comfortable home. The scheme provides affordable furniture and white goods through a weekly service charge.
Whether you are moving into your first tenancy, fleeing crisis, or starting again after homelessness, we ensure you have what you need to live independently.
