THIS FUND IS FOR INSTITUTIONAL AND CERTIFIED SOPHISTICATED INVESTORS

About the fund

The Women in Safe Homes Fund is believed to be the world's first gender-lens property fund and a joint venture of Resonance and Patron Capital. It was established to increase the supply of safe, secure and affordable housing for women experiencing homelessness, escaping domestic abuse and leaving the criminal justice system without a home to go to.

Having raised over £29m from 20 UK & US-based impact investors, the fund partnered with 9 women's sector and specialist housing charities in England and in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The fund acquires and refurbishes homes - a mix of family-sized homes, shared homes and emergency refuges - which are leased to specialist women's sector organisations and housing providers. Alongside a safe home, tenants can access tailored, wraparound support to help them rebuild their lives and achieve long-term housing stability.
