Bradford-based charity Staying Put aims to provide accommodation to victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence through its subsidary Solace

A charity has secured registered provider status for its subsidiary that provides accommodation to survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence.

Staying Put Group, which is based in Bradford, successfully registered Solace Housing Association with the Regulator of Social Housing earlier this month.

Solace said it will start building its housing stock and is currently looking to purchase its next multiple occupancy property, aiming to provide temporary safe accommodation to survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence.

”Thank you to everyone for your support in assisting us to achieve this milestone. We look forward to being able to provide social housing to all survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence.”

Solace Housing Association was set up in 2021.
