Houses to Homes
Support for pregnant women and young mothers experiencing social isolation and housing issues.
Our ‘Houses to Homes’ program is a social services initiative that supports pregnant women and mothers aged between 16 and 25 in urgent need of a place to stay with their children.
The program provides temporary accommodation in discreet residential locations across Blacktown and Parramatta for up to two years, as well as holistic support to promote their physical, emotional, mental and financial health and wellbeing.
The program includes:
- referral pathways towards long-term stable housing
- case management and family support
- home visits and guidance
- empowerment and advocacy
- access to parenting programs
- living skills support
- employment and education opportunities
- assistance in connecting with other services in the community.
The homes offered by Catholic Care Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains are warm, comforting, and well-stocked for young mothers, and situated discreetly in residential environments, with integrated 24/7 security monitoring for safety reasons.
The on-site residences feature separate, clean and private bedrooms, a shared laundry, private yard, and common area for the women and children to connect with each other.
