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 House

Opened in May 2015, St Michael’s House offers high-quality supported accommodation in the heart of Gloucester. This purpose-built residence provides 16 en-suite rooms designed to offer safety, stability and a sense of community.

Residents benefit from private living spaces, shared kitchen facilities and dedicated support from our Housing Team. Through our Pathway Home approach, we work alongside individuals to develop life skills, boost confidence, and build the foundations for independent living.

The intentionally small and cohesive setting of St Michael’s House fosters meaningful relationships, creating a supportive atmosphere where residents can truly belong, contribute and thrive.
