Housing that works for residents, councils, landlords and investors
Bundool Housing finds, prepares and looks after homes for the people councils find hardest to house: self-contained homes for people leaving the streets, homes adapted for disabled residents, and homes councils buy and own.
- Self-contained homes on leases of 10+ years
- Adapted to an occupational therapist’s specification
- Homes found and refurbished for councils to own
The need
households in temporary accommodation in England, a record high
new supported housing scheme to help more than 2,500 people across England off the streets
for a new Long-Term Rough Sleeping Innovation Programme, towards the pledge to halve long-term rough sleeping
for councils to add good-quality temporary homes, through the fourth round of the Local Authority Housing Fund
What councils need now
Three services, one provider.
Built around the gaps councils describe in their own reports. A council can use one, two or all three.
Homes for people leaving the streets
Long-term rough sleeping needs self-contained homes with support, and there are too few, especially for women.
Self-contained one-bed flats and studios, leased to your authority for more than 10 years, with support from the specialists you commission.
The full specificationAdapted homes
Disabled households wait longer in temporary accommodation because suitably adapted homes are scarce.
Homes found and adapted to your occupational therapist’s specification, then leased to you long term or bought through our buying service.
The full specificationBuying and refurbishment service
Owning homes costs councils least, but finding, checking and refurbishing them takes time that grant deadlines do not allow.
We find homes that fit your brief, check them before you spend, and manage the refurbishment. You own the home.
The full specification
Who it works for
One arrangement, three partners.
What councils, landlords and residents each get, service by service.
For councils
Homes for the needs you have now, from one accountable provider.
- Leaving the streetsSelf-contained homes that support providers can work in, in place of shared rooms and nightly-paid B&B
- Leaving the streetsLeases of more than 10 years, which councils report can cut the cost left after housing benefit subsidy. Your finance team confirms the figures
- Adapted homesHomes adapted to your occupational therapist’s specification, so disabled households wait less
- Buying serviceHomes found and refurbished for you to own, with every purchase your decision
- All servicesInspected before handover, reported every quarter, and no household personal data needed to start
For landlords
A long lease with a fixed payment, or a council buyer.
- Leaving the streetsOne-bed flats and studios wanted, on leases of 10 years or more
- All servicesThe same payment every month, whether or not the home is occupied
- All servicesNothing to manage: the council and its support provider work with the resident, and we look after the home
- Adapted homesGround-floor flats and bungalows welcome, with any adaptations agreed in writing first
- Buying serviceOr sell to a council: a public buyer with no chain
For residents
Residents cannot choose us, because the council decides who is placed. So these are the standards we hold ourselves to on their behalf.
- Leaving the streetsA home of your own, with your own front door, kitchen and bathroom, and support from a specialist team
- Leaving the streetsA safe, well-kept home, with repairs done within agreed times
- Adapted homesA home that fits your needs, adapted to an occupational therapist’s assessment
- Buying serviceA council-owned home, refurbished to a decent standard, warmer and cheaper to heat
How it works
From the council’s brief to a home that fits.
Step 1: The council’s brief
The homes it needs: who they are for, sizes, areas, access needs and standards. No household personal data.
Step 2: We find the home
From owners who want a long lease or a sale, including landlords leaving the sector and owners of empty homes.
Step 3: We make it ready
Repairs, safety checks, energy works and any adaptations, then an inspection before handover.
Step 4: The resident moves in
The council places them and arranges any support. We look after a leased home for the whole term, or hand over the keys when the council has bought it.

Impact
Profit with purpose
We are a company, not a charity. Councils spend billions a year on emergency accommodation that is poor for the people placed in it and poor value for taxpayers. We make money by providing something better for less, and we publish the social results alongside the financial ones.

Where this is heading
The direction of travel is clear
