Housing & home support

Housing options

If your home no longer suits your needs, it can help to talk through your options. Our housing options service supports Bristol residents, whether you own your home or rent.

Your housing options

Stay, move or plan ahead

Housing options is available to people living in Bristol across all housing tenures, including homeowners and tenants.

Make your current home work

We can explore whether adaptations or additional support at home could meet your needs and help you stay where you are.

Get help with a move

If you have decided to move, or need to, we can support you with the decisions and practical arrangements involved.

Understand future options

You don’t need to have made a decision. Gathering information now can help you plan for changes in your circumstances.

Help with decisions

Advice and practical assistance

Housing and Support assessment

Discuss how your home meets your needs and what could help. Telephone advice, signposting and information sheets can help you explore your options.

Applications and paperwork

We can help with housing and support forms, registering applications on HomeChoice, and identifying and collating personal documents relating to property and finances.

Working with other people

Support can include liaising with estate agents and solicitors as you work through a move.

Help with the practicalities of moving

If downsizing means deciding what to keep and how to dispose of belongings you no longer need, we can help with those practical decisions as well as arranging a removals service.

Support can also include liaising with care and medical equipment providers and arranging utility switching, so these details are considered as part of your move.
