Frequently
Asked Questions
An almshouse is a form of charitable housing provided to those in financial need. Almshouses are distinct from regular housing because they are funded and managed by charities, not private landlords.
Visit The Almshouse Association website for more information.When a vacancy arises, it will show on our website. You can apply by completing our online application form (contact us if you require a PDF or printed form). Applications will be reviewed, and the most eligible candidates will be shortlisted for an interview with the Trustees.
We provide well-maintained, self-contained housing for individuals in need. We currently have 21 almshouses in Titchfield; 11 one-bedroom, 8 two-bedroom and 2 three-bedroom properties.
Residents do not pay rent in the traditional sense but contribute an affordable monthly amount to help cover the costs of upkeep and services.
While our almshouses provide independent living, we support residents through maintenance, a close-knit community environment, and signposting to additional local services.

Richard's
Success Story
“At just 44, Richard’s life was turned upside down by a severe stroke that left him disabled. When he left the hospital during the first lockdown, confined to a manual wheelchair, even the simplest moments we all take for granted—answering the door, stepping into the garden, or spending time out with his wife—felt impossibly out of reach.
Through their GP, Richard’s family connected with a Social Prescriber who encouraged them to apply for a grant from The Earl of Southampton Trust. After meeting with a Trustee, Richard received news that changed everything: the Trust would provide him with an electric wheelchair. For the first time in two years, Richard opened the front door on his own, a moment filled with joy and liberation.
The electric wheelchair has given Richard his independence back, bringing happiness and confidence into his daily life. He can now prepare meals, enjoy outings by his wife’s side, and travel with ease. This single act of kindness transformed not just Richard’s life but the lives of his family too. They will forever hold gratitude in their hearts for The Earl of Southampton Trust and the hope they restored.”
