Our Accommodation.
We have 25 emergency accommodation units for women and children, supported by an administrative centre located on the same site. In addition, we have 7 units offsite which are larger with 4 and 5 bedrooms for families.
We have a mix of 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom units, that are fully furnished, private, secure, clean, and comfortable. Each unit has a private bathroom and kitchen. We will supply you with the basic items to get you started e.g. bedding, towels, staple pantry items, and some toiletries.
Onsite there is a free communal laundry, a shared playground for children and an edible garden, and other areas where we run programs for women and children.
