Families

As a housing charity, Unipol specialises in providing affordable homes for students who are not adequately catered for in the private rented sector.

Family housing is available to students whose children or other dependants live with them whether they are single parents, co-habiting or guardians.

Our Subsidy Arrangements

As a charity, Unipol subsides the cost of family housing to provide lower rents because it recognises that the high accommodation costs are a barrier to individuals with children or dependants undertaking study. This is an important part of Unipol’s charitable mission, and more information is available here.
