About Tranquil Minds Supported Housing
Tranquil Minds Supported Housing CIC provides safe, stable accommodation and enhanced housing management for adults experiencing homelessness, substance misuse recovery, mental health challenges, and those transitioning back into the community following custody.
Based in Buckinghamshire, we currently support over 25 residents across several shared homes, offering more than just housing. Our approach focuses on rebuilding lives through structure, routine, and practical support that helps residents regain independence and stability.
Many of the individuals we support have faced long periods of instability and social exclusion. Through a safe living environment, clear expectations, and ongoing engagement with support services, we help residents rebuild confidence, develop life skills, and reconnect with their communities.
Our work aims to reduce homelessness, prevent reoffending, and improve wellbeing by providing people with the opportunity to move forward with dignity and purpose. As we continue to grow, we are keen to involve volunteers who share our commitment to supporting vulnerable people and creating lasting, positive change in our local community.
