Rt Hon Darren Jones MP for Bristol North West and Chief Secretary to the Treasury, recently saw firsthand how Resonance’s Homelessness Property Funds are changing lives in Bristol. Along with Resonance’s CEO, Daniel Brewer, and Rosie Phillips, Chief Executive of Developing Health & Independence (DHI), Darren met Bruno, one of our National Homelessness Property Fund (NHPF2) tenants.   Bruno has previously experienced years of rough sleeping and temporary accommodation but now has a stable home and specialist support from (DHI), one of the fund’s housing partners, and in particular, his Housing Support Worker, Esther. Bruno is now rebuilding his life — improving his mental health, gaining new skills, and hopes to start volunteering very soon. Darren Jones MP, said: "It was inspiring to meet Bruno today and see how social impact investing can change people’s lives. This government is committed to creating the right environment for impact investment to unlock its potential for individuals and communities, here in Bristol and around the country."

Today, on #DisabledAccessDay, we’re highlighting the importance of accessible, inclusive housing for people with learning disabilities and autistic people. Everyone deserves a home that meets their needs and that provides them with opportunities for independence, security, and access to the right support services. That’s why the Resonance Supported Homes Fund works to address the UK’s severe shortage of suitable housing for people with learning disabilities and autistic people. - 1.5 million people in the UK have a learning disability. - Over 2,000 people with learning disabilities or autism are in hospital inpatient facilities instead of suitable homes. With 25 tenants already housed across 16 homes, the Resonance Supported Homes Fund ensures tenants can live in safe homes that are right for them, within local communicates and designed around their personal needs. On #DisabledAccessDay we’re proud that this fund, working in partnership with its expert housing partners, United Response and Golden Lane Housing, is helping to break barriers to accessible housing that many people in our communities experience. #InclusiveHousing #ResonanceSupportedHomesFund #AccessibilityMatters #SocialImpact

We’re delighted to be shortlisted for ESG Initiative of the Year at the Wealth & Asset Management Awards 2025 for our homelessness property funds! This recognition highlights the impact of our social impact property funds that are tackling the UK’s housing crisis by providing safe, stable, and affordable homes for individuals and families at risk of homelessness. So far, these funds have already purchased more than 1,250 homes, giving over 3,900 people, including 1,800 children, the opportunity to find stability and rebuild their lives. Five of these funds are focused to providing affordable homes for those facing homelessness, one – the Women in Safe Homes fund - creates safe spaces for women escaping domestic abuse and leaving the criminal justice system, and our final fund – the Resonance Supported Homes fund - offers supported housing for people with learning disabilities and autistic people, ensuring they have the stability they need to thrive. By working closely with 21 expert housing partners and ten local authorities, we’re not only providing homes but also enabling long-term, positive change. A huge thank you to our investors, housing partners, and everyone working to make this impact possible. We look forward to the awards and celebrating the achievements of all the shortlisted organisations! #ESGAwards #ImpactInvesting #HousingCrisis #SocialImpact #Resonance
