MORE INFORMATION MORE INFORMATION
At Catherine House, we offer emergency accommodation and support services for women only experiencing homelessness.
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 the women 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.
Catherine House can accommodate up to 54 women experiencing homelessness at any given time.
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 who so bravely walks through our doors by making a tax deductible donation today.

Did you know women now represent 44% of all people experiencing homelessness in Australia?
How often do you see a woman sleeping on the street? Women tell us they feel like the "hidden homeless", they are most commonly sleeping in their cars, going from couch to couch at friends houses or staying in unsafe relationships as they feel they have no where to go.
As a community we have a responsibility to make sure we raise awareness for homelessness and importantly let women know they do have options for support 💜 #homelessnessweek #nhw2020 #catherinehouse #awareness #support #pleaseshare
