Women in Safe Homes (WISH) Fund

• The Women in Safe Homes Fund, launched in December 2020 with Resonance  in a joint venture, is the world’s first gender-lens property fund focused on helping women who either suffered domestic abuse or are ex-offenders.
• Its purpose is to provide affordable, safe, and secure homes for women and their families who are suffering domestic abuse, leaving the criminal justice system and women at risk of or experiencing homelessness in the UK.
• The fund has raised over £29 million so far, including an initial anchor support of £1.5 million for expenses and services and an additional personal commitment of £1 million investment from Keith Breslauer.
• As of November 2024, the fund is fully committed, and purchased 107 properties, from one-bed units to family homes and larger properties, including a refuge. 
• To deliver its objectives, the fund works closely with its nine housing partners, which are largely made up of charities and women’s sector organisations.
• The Patron team has worked on an essentially pro-bono basis to help deliver WISH’s objectives.
