Gloucester Housing

Supported Housing in Gloucester – Pathways to Stability and Independence

YMCA Cheltenham provides a network of supported housing in Gloucester for individuals facing homelessness, housing insecurity or complex challenges. Rooted in compassion and guided by our Christian ethos, our services in Gloucester offer more than just a roof – they provide a community where people are respected, supported and empowered to take positive steps forward.

Across our Gloucester sites, including St Michael’s House, St Michael’s Court and Potter’s Place, we deliver person-centred support in safe, well-maintained accommodation. Our dedicated Housing Team works alongside each resident to develop life skills, enhance wellbeing, and build the confidence needed for independent living.

Whether through high-support provision or more independent accommodation, YMCA Cheltenham remains committed to creating spaces where individuals not only find shelter, but also a renewed sense of dignity, belonging and hope.

St Michael’s Court

Located close to St Michael’s Square in Gloucester, St Michael’s Court comprises three distinct properties designed to meet varied needs:

• 3 St Michael’s Court: Four self-contained studio flats, offering stable, independent accommodation for residents moving through our PATHWAY model.

• 4 St Michael’s Court: Twelve cluster-style rooms, each en-suite, sharing kitchen and social areas. The space is bright, spacious, and designed to foster community alongside privacy.

• 6 St Michael’s Court: Three studio flats serving residents in the final stage of our PATHWAY HOME model—offering safe, structured support before fully independent living.

Together, these units provide a supportive staircase of housing options, accommodating up to 19 individuals as they progress on their housing journey.

Referrals are managed by Gloucester City Council to ensure tailored care and placement.

Coronation Court

Coronation Court is YMCA Cheltenham’s dedicated family accommodation, created to support those facing homelessness, including refugee families and those escaping conflict or crisis. The development comprises 13 self-contained two-bedroom flats, thoughtfully arranged around a peaceful, enclosed courtyard.

More than just a place to stay, Coronation Court offers families a safe, stable and supportive environment in which to begin again. Each home is equipped to provide comfort and privacy, while shared spaces like the family room and outdoor courtyard encourage connection and a sense of belonging.

Guided by our Pathway Home approach, our Housing Team walks alongside each household, offering practical support, emotional care and help with navigating services and next steps. From daily essentials to long-term planning, we ensure every family has the tools to rebuild with dignity and confidence.

Community spirit is at the heart of Coronation Court, with regular staff-led activities, seasonal celebrations and a welcoming environment that empowers residents to feel seen, safe and supported.

Coronation Court represents our mission in action—bringing hope, opportunity and stability to those who need it most.

Caridas House

Caridas House offers immediate, temporary accommodation as part of YMCA Cheltenham’s PATHWAY HOME response in Gloucester. Providing 30 bedspaces for single adults and families, this service enables individuals in crisis to find safety and stability under compassionate care.

Located within the city centre, Caridas House operates as an essential part of our emergency support network. Residents benefit from round‑the‑clock assistance, access to communal spaces, and personalised support from our Housing Team. This first step on the pathway empowers residents to begin rebuilding their lives, supported by a caring community and clear progression towards permanent housing.
