Transitional Community Housing Ltd for Older Women
Women over 55 are the fastest growing group among those who are homeless, or in danger of becoming homeless.
For these women and their dependants, we aim to provide transitional housing
for up to two years, as they work towards a more settled future.
“Transitional Community Housing Ltd” (formerly “The Kenthurst Project”),
was established to source rental accommodation suitable for transitional housing.
Currently, the project has six properties
and has helped shelter thirty-one people, including twelve women and eighteen dependants.
We primarily partner with Wesley Community Housing, as our registered community
housing provider and to provide case managers to assist clients through this
transitional period. Wesley Mission provides us with funding support, in terms
of the handling of donations and gifted funds, and the granting of these monies
to us, for our activites. We also, presently, receive funding support through
Rotary, the Soroptimists, and others, and we expect to be a registered charity
with DGR status by the start of May. We partner with a number of shelters and
social services to provide their clients with transitional housing.
