Fusion Housing

We are a non-profit making charity working to help individuals who are experiencing housing related problems and need support with learning and employment.

Fusion Housing was created in 2010 but its roots in Kirklees go back much further. Fusion Housing grew out of the joining of SHAP which supported young people to be able to successfully maintain and keep their tenancies, and CHAS who’s basis in Kirklees was providing housing advice.

As the organisation has grown the services we provide has developed. Currently we run:

• A range of Housing Support services for young people across Kirklees, including Young Parents, Refugees and Asian Women.
• A Bond Guarantee service to help individuals that do not have children, and on low income and who are in band C/D/E with the council to secure a private rented property in the Kirklees area (subject to meeting our criteria and background checks)
• A Managed Tenancy service that provides tenancies in shared accommodation let directly by Fusion Housing to clients aged 18 to 35 years old.
• An Advice and Specialist Legal Advice service helping with Housing matters and representation at Housing Possession hearings in the county court.
• A range of informal and accredited learning opportunities, information, advice and guidance to support young people into education, employment and training.
• A Food Bank service based in our offices in Dewsbury and serving the North Kirklees area.
