Our homes
Small homes, ordinary streets, real neighbourhoods
A home should feel like somewhere a young person lives, not somewhere they are placed. Our settings will be small and domestic, and they will be chosen for their connection to the everyday things a young person needs nearby.
Addresses are not published
We do not publish home addresses, photographs of exteriors, street names or maps. This protects the privacy and safety of the young people living there. Placing teams receive the details they need directly, through the agreed route.
Service in development
Ghausia Homes is preparing its accommodation and is not yet accepting placements. This page describes our approach to homes rather than a set of open settings. Number of homes, capacity and availability will be published only once they are confirmed.
What the homes are like
Small and welcoming, by design
Small settings are not a marketing preference; they are what makes the rest of our model possible. In a small home, staff know each young person as an individual, routines can flex around a person rather than a rota, and a young person is not one of many.
We aim for homes that feel domestic: rooms a young person can make their own, shared spaces that are actually used, and the ordinary things — a kitchen worth cooking in, somewhere to sit and talk — that make a house feel like somewhere to belong.
We will publish the specifics of each setting — what it offers and who it suits — when they are confirmed and approved for publication. Until then we would rather say less than say something a young person would find untrue on the day they arrive.
Community
Connected to somewhere, not isolated in it
Independence is easier where life is reachable. When we assess a setting, the surrounding area matters as much as the building.
- Getting to education, training or work
- Public transport that makes college, training or a job realistic on a normal weekday morning.
- Everyday services
- A GP surgery, dentist, pharmacy and shops a young person can reach and register with themselves.
- Things to do
- Somewhere to play sport, meet people or take part in community life, so a young person's world is bigger than the house.
- Culture and identity
- Access to communities, food, faith and language that matter to the young person, so identity is supported rather than set aside.
Safeguarding and privacy
Why you will not find addresses or photographs here
A young person’s home should not be identifiable from a website. Publishing addresses, exterior photographs, street signs or maps can expose young people to risk and takes away privacy they are entitled to.
So this site does not show, and will not show:
- exact addresses or postcodes of any home;
- photographs of exteriors, entrances, street signs or nearby landmarks;
- maps or pins identifying a property;
- anything that identifies a young person living in a home.
Professionals considering a referral receive the practical detail they need directly from us, through an agreed route, at the point it is needed.
