At Catherine House, we offer accommodation and support services for women experiencing homelessness, who are 18 years and older, and unaccompanied by children.
All of our programs and services are recovery-oriented. We not only deal with the immediate issues that have led a client to a period of homelessness, we also work with our clients to plan for a future that helps her sustain her housing and build a life that is meaningful and purposeful for her and her family.

In 2018, we are fundraising for the expansion of our Emergency Program. This will see the service increase from a 16 bed program to a 20 bed program.

“We have a lady, that has been sleeping at the back of our building for around 12 months now. We want to be able to help her in the most effective way possible and whilst helping her with warms clothes and blankets helps, we are wondering what else we can do”
We often receive emails like this and as heartbreaking as it is, this is the reality for women experiencing homelessness.
If you do come across someone sleeping rough please contact Street to Home on 1800 811 180.
We all have a responsibility to not turn a blind eye to something that affects our whole community.
