Why Renting Works
Why Renting Is the New Reality for Foster Carers and Providers
Homeownership isn’t a barrier to care — and we’re here to help.
FOSTER CARERS DON'T NEED TO OWN THEIR HOME
You don’t need to own a home to open your heart.
Many incredible foster carers rent — and that’s absolutely okay. With rising house prices and mortgage restrictions, homeownership isn’t always possible. We’re here to support carers by providing high-quality rental homes that meet fostering standards, so nothing stands in the way of giving a child a safe, loving place to grow.
CHALLENGES WITH MORTGAGE ACCESS
1 in 3 lenders don’t recognise foster care income — but we do.
Many foster carers face unfair barriers when trying to buy a home, with one-third of lenders refusing to include fostering income in mortgage applications. This makes homeownership difficult for people doing one of society’s most important jobs. That’s why we’re here — offering secure rental options tailored for fostering, so carers can focus on care, not credit.
GROWING DEMAND FOR RENTAL FOSTERING HOMES
The need for quality rental homes in fostering has never been greater.
As more foster carers rent rather than own, and placement needs become more varied, the demand for safe, regulation-ready rental properties continues to rise. We're helping meet that demand by working with landlords, developers, and local authorities to ensure every child has a home — and every carer has the space to care.
OUR MISSION: REMOVE THE BARRIER. PROVIDE THE HOME
Every child deserves a safe place. Every carer deserves a fair chance.
We exist to break down housing barriers that prevent incredible people from fostering or running children’s homes. By sourcing, preparing, and managing the right properties, we make sure nothing stands between a child and the care they deserve.
