At 28th Street Agency, we strongly believe in the importance of community and the profound impact of giving back. This is why we are excited to announce our ongoing support for Catherine House.
Catherine House: A Beacon of Hope Catherine House plays an essential role in South Australia, providing accommodation and supportive services to women over the age of 18 who are experiencing homelessness, and are unaccompanied by children. Their commitment to empowering these women and offering them a safe environment resonates deeply with our core values.
Our Partnership For every new client we welcome at 28th Street Agency, a portion of our proceeds is dedicated to Catherine House. This means that when you choose 28th Street Agency, you’re not just accessing top-quality services; you’re also making a significant impact in the lives of women who are in dire need of support.
Join Us in Making a Difference We invite you to join us in supporting this crucial cause. Together, we can contribute towards a brighter future for these women, helping them to find stability, support, and a pathway to a better tomorrow.
Thank you for your support and for joining us in our mission to give back to the community.
Catherine House provides crisis, longer term accommodation and support services to women experiencing homelessness in South Australia. As South Australia’s only homelessness and recovery service for women, our work deals with the immediate issues created by homelessness and assists women in planning a future that helps them sustain housing and build purposeful lives.
Catherine House offers person centred support and Trauma-Informed care, focusing on clients’ existing strengths and knowledge. They accommodate up to 54 women experiencing homelessness per night, and provide an outreach service to women living in the community.
The Catherine House Crisis Accommodation Service was established in 1988 and remains the only homelessness service for women unaccompanied by children in South Australia.
The service offers a safe and secure place for women to go when they are experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.
The service is staffed 24/7 and provides accommodation and support services for women. An Intake worker assesses referrals for vacancies as they become available. This is (on average) 45-55 women each month. Women are assisted to manage their safety while they are waiting for a place at Catherine House.
Women who are 18 years and older and unaccompanied by children are able to be referred to Catherine House. Referrals to the Crisis Accommodation Service are accepted from all sources, including other homelessness services, hospitals, GPs, SAPOL, or directly from women seeking accommodation.
Every Catherine House client is provided with her own bedroom, shared bathroom and lounge/dining facilities. Upon arrival, women receive a welcome pack including new sleepwear, underwear and toiletries. All meals are provided.
Every woman who arrives at Catherine House is allocated a case worker and is offered intensive case work support. Case workers work with each client to address the issues that resulted in their homelessness. Together, they work towards finding safe and affordable accommodation upon leaving the program and are linked with other support services within the community.
A core focus at Catherine House is to end the homelessness for women – for good.
A number of partnerships exist to support women, including:
Medical support through a visiting General Practitioner
Financial support and counselling
Legal support and guidance
Direct support through Centrelink
Drug and Alcohol support through DASSA
Counselling/Psychological support
Wellbeing, social and personal development activities through the Catherine House Women’s Centre
