Welcome to Independent People.
(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.
Fresh approach
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.
