Brighter Futures has a long history of providing specialist housing and support in Stoke-on-Trent.
It all started over 50 years ago when a group of volunteers established a night shelter in Charles Street, Hanley. Recognising the need for social housing in the city, Potteries Housing Association was founded and registered as a provider. PHA then took on a lease of the old Granville Hotel, becoming the only hostel in North Staffordshire for homeless individuals.
As time went on, it became clear that people needed more than just a roof over their head. They required mental health support, move-on housing, and assistance in reaching their goals. This realisation led to the growth of our wraparound services and a re-branding of the organisation…and in 2006, Brighter Futures was born!
Today, we remain committed to help people to live well, thrive, and be connected within their communities, by providing a range of accommodation and support services that reflect the needs and aspirations of our customers.
