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.
Every night of the year we accommodate 52 women experiencing homelessness.
Homelessness can happen to anyone.
It could be your mother, sister, grandmother or friend. It could be you.
Our focus at Catherine House is to not only provide a safe place of accommodation but ensure each woman has a chance to recover from what has led her into homelessness. For many women, this could be years of abuse, trauma or living with mental health issues.
Whatever the reason, recovery is always possible.
Please support Catherine House and every woman we support by making a tax deductible donation.
This is staggering 💔

This is deliberate and evil. Punish the poor and reward the rich. When Morrison said that he wanted to reduce suicide he lied. He is actively encouraging it.
