Aims: Aashyana, formed in 1992, is the first Asian led housing Association in England's Southwest region working to ensure that the housing needs of Asian Communities of Bristol and Southwest are recognised and addressed. The name "Ashyanna" is an old Persian word meaning "a nest".



Many people face housing problems at some time in their life. Your home may be overcrowded or need costly repairs. You may be having trouble paying the bills or have no secure home at all. Family difficulties may mean you need somewhere else to live.

Aashyana Housing Association focuses on helping Asian people solve their housing problems. We offer confidential housing advice and help, without charge, in Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, Bengali, Gujrati and English.
