How we can help
Between our two shelters, we have 156 beds and we serve hundreds of families each year.
Some families come to us escaping domestic violence, but others find themselves homeless due to an eviction, a breakdown in family relations or unsafe accommodation. We also help refugee claimants who are seeking asylum find a new safe place to call home.
Whatever your story, we’re proud to offer an inclusive, safe environment for families and women fleeing violence. We can help you find a better future.
