A New Generation for South Australian Women
In October 2024, we were pleased to publicly announce at our Gala Dinner that we are building a New Generation Catherine House. It was an incredibly momentous announcement in our proud 37-year history. The $36+ million project is supported through a combination of federal and state funding, debt, and philanthropic support. Contributions have been made from Housing Australia, the Department of Social Services, SA Housing Authority, and Catherine House donors, with land and equity support from Housing Choices Australia. New Generation consists of 52 apartments in the Adelaide CBD to co-locate five specialist women’s accommodation programs into a single integrated service site with a dedicated Women’s Centre. This building will transform the existing Catherine House from a congregate living model (36 beds) into 52 self- contained accessible apartments within a modern, safe and secure building.
