SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS:
ABOUT: Daizybell is a sister organisation of Bradford Rape Crisis, providing critical help to women and girls who need it. It provides support services which are free, independent and confidential to hundreds of women and girls each year, and was set up in direct response to the lack of decent, safe housing for women in Bradford.
1.4m women (one in four) experienced domestic abuse in 2023
70% of domestic abuse survivors have a housing need
60% of all homeless adults in temporary accommodation in England are women
PURPOSE OF PARTNERSHIP: The partnership between Daizybell and the Women in Safe Homes Fund has allowed the fund to purchase a small portfolio of family homes in Bradford which are being tenanted by women and their children fleeing domestic abuse.
Daizybell has been part of a pilot ‘mid-wife’ lease arrangement whereby another more experienced housing provider, Winner Trading, takes the direct lease from the fund and is the registered social landlord for the properties. This has enabled Daizybell to be supported in property and tenancy management by Winner Trading. Daizybell and Winner Trading work in partnership to manage thirty dispersed properties in the Bradford area and provide long-term tenancies to residents so that they can recover from their experiences.
So far, the Women in Safe Homes Fund has already bought 78 homes (63% of its property target) to house 183 women and 80 children. In March 2023, the full portfolio of 30 properties for Daizybell was completed.
