In the United Kingdom, "halfway house" can refer to a place where people with mental disorders, victims of child abuse, orphans, or teenage runaways stay. The latter are often run by charities, including the Church of England, other churches, and community groups. Residential places for offenders on bail are known as bail hostels,[6] and probation-supervised accommodation for offenders post-release are known as Approved Premises.[7] However, the expression halfway house more usually refers to something combining features of two other things, for example a solution to a problem based on two ideas.
