The construction of a new housing block in west London, named Brook House, aims to provide UK homes exclusively for women, especially those affected by domestic abuse. With 102 affordable social rented flats intended as a lifeline, this project replaces an outdated estate with a significant need for such accommodation evident from Ealing Council’s waiting list. Women's Pioneer Housing will manage the site, which aligns with its mission to offer secure housing for women and influence better provisioning within the housing sector.
