CATHERINE HOUSE Recovery, stability and independence for women
Since Catherine House joined the Housing Choices Australia Group in 2021, we have combined our experience and expertise to support women moving from crisis toward stability and independence.
Each night, Catherine House provides accommodation for up to 60 women and delivers outreach services to those living in the community. Beyond safe housing, programs focus on the whole journey of recovery: mental health support, trauma-informed care, education, skill building, and pathways to employment. These services empower women to rebuild confidence, strengthen decision-making, and plan for a future beyond homelessness. In 2024–25, Catherine House reached a major milestone, securing funding for an expanded New Generation Catherine House which will be developed in partnership with Housing Choices Australia.
This new facility will increase access to 24/7 crisis accommodation and wrap-around recovery services, providing a safe, purpose-built environment for women at their most vulnerable and enhancing opportunities for long-term stability and independence. Catherine House shows how combining housing with tailored support can make a real di erence for some of the most vulnerable people in our community. By providing safe homes alongside recovery programs, Housing Choices Australia is helping women gain stability and independence while contributing to better housing outcomes in South Australia.
