Women-only tower block in Ealing - how will it work?

Available for over a year

A new housing block in west London currently under construction will be a "UK first" in providing homes exclusively for women. Brook House in Acton will provide a "lifeline" to women and survivors of domestic abuse struggling to find a home. When completed, it will provide 102 "genuinely affordable" social rented flats, replacing an old 39-home estate with the cost of renting a home on average less than a quarter of an equivalently sized home in the private sector. BBC Radio London's Jim Davis has the story. (Image credit: Ealing Council)
