(Formerly Priority Youth Housing and Wayahead Housing and Support) Independent People is the leading provider of housing, support and advice to young people aged between 16 and 25 in Bristol and South Gloucestershire. We exist to support young people to build independent lives. We do this by helping people find (and keep) a safe, stable home. We also offer non-judgmental support and advice on counselling, training and help finding jobs. No other organisation in the area has the same wealth of experience and resources.

Are you homeless or about to be? Get housing advice here. Our Contact details page has all our numbers and addresses on it. We’re a friendly and experienced bunch and will always try to help. You can come in and see us or give us a call if you have any questions or need information.
We are developing a fresh approach to supporting to young people, it’s based on what they say they need and our own experience of what works and what doesn’t. We think together these two things help us stay on top of our game.
You can find out more of our history and what makes Independent People unique in the About us section.
We provide housing, support, help with resettlement after prison through our Inside Out project and Bristol’s only emergency 24 hour accommodation for young people at St George’s House.
If you live in one of our properties, have a look at the Service user information pages for details about maintenance and repairs, who is responsible for what and how to report a repair.
Earlier this year we were awarded £11, 000 by Bristol City Council to provide Tageted Positive Activities for young people who would not normally be able to afford them. You're only young once and everyone needs some fun in their lives!
