Almshouses are independent local charities that provide affordable housing for older people in need. Most are for people living in a specific geographical area or connected with a particular trade or religion. You will have to provide evidence that you meet the Charity's eligibility criteria before any application for housing is accepted.

Most Almshouse facilities are very small, so vacancies are usually rare, and they are administered by volunteer Trustees. So please visit their website to learn more about them before contacting them:
