2022 Catherine House Impact Report

catherine house overview

Catherine House deals with the immediate issues created by homelessness and assists women in planning a future that helps them sustain housing and build purposeful lives. In addition to our accommodation services, Catherine House offers a number of support services to ensure each woman has the opportunities she needs to recover from what has brought her into homelessness. For many women, their homelessness is the result of domestic and family violence, mental health or housing instability. Catherine House offers person-centred support and trauma-informed care, focusing on clients’ existing strengths and knowledge. Catherine House is South Australia’s only homelessness and recovery service for women. Our aim at Catherine House is to end homelessness for every woman who walks through our doors – for good.

Importantly, every woman is treated with respect, care and dignity. 54 women were provided with safe and secure accommodation at any given time on any given day in 2022 ...
