Williams House
Opened by HRH The Princess Royal in 2015, Williams House stands at the heart of Cheltenham as YMCA’s flagship £4.1 million supported accommodation project. This modern, purpose-built facility was made possible thanks to the generous support of the Homes & Communities Agency, national and local trusts, and the dedication of YMCA staff, supporters and volunteers.
Home to 73 residents aged 16 and over, Williams House provides a safe and welcoming environment for individuals with a range of needs – from mental health issues, substance misuse and complex circumstances, to those on a journey toward independent living. Each resident benefits from 24-hour staffing and tailored, high-level support from our experienced Housing Team. Our staff provide residents with support and advice on wellbeing, personal development, and tenancy readiness.
The building offers a range of high-quality accommodation options, including ensuite rooms and self-contained flats. All ground floor spaces are wheelchair accessible and adapted for individuals with physical disabilities. Communal kitchens and social spaces on each floor promote a sense of community and shared living.
Williams House delivers a comprehensive model of support:
- 7 rooms 16 + contract high support
- 28 rooms 18 + contract high support
- 29 rooms (Intensive Housing Management)
- 5 rooms temporary emergency Tewkesbury Borough Council
- 4 rooms temporary emergency Cheltenham Borough Council
This integrated approach ensures that every resident receives the right support at the right time, with dignity, compassion, and a clear path toward independence.
