Referral-led
Councils, charities and support workers refer people to us, and individuals can refer themselves. We check each home is the right fit before anyone moves in.

Transitional housing, done properly
A stable, well-kept home is the step between crisis and a settled future. We provide that step.
Aalay Housing provides transitional housing: safe, furnished homes for people who need somewhere stable while they get back on their feet. Residents live independently in a studio, a flat or a room in a single-gender shared house of up to four bedrooms.
Our homes are for adults moving on from homelessness or shelters, young people leaving care (18 to 25), survivors of domestic abuse and people leaving the armed forces. Residents take part in regular coaching, so the time with us builds towards a longer-term home, work or training.
We focus only on the East Midlands: we focus on Leicester and Nottingham. Most people come to us through a referral from a council, charity or support worker, and you can also refer yourself.

How it works
A home that is ready on day one, coaching while you are with us, and a plan for what comes next.
Ready to move into
Every home is refurbished, furnished and safety-checked before handover, with bedrooms sized for real living, not just a bed.
The right kind of home
Self-contained studios and flats, or rooms in single-gender shared houses of up to four bedrooms.
Coaching
Residents take part in regular coaching to build confidence, manage a tenancy and work towards their goals.
Safe and well managed
Gas, electrical and fire safety checks are kept current, and repairs are dealt with quickly so small problems do not become big ones.
Planning the next move
Transitional housing is a step, not an end point. We help residents plan and prepare for a longer-term home.
