Overview
The St Vincent de Paul Society (SVP) is an international Christian voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty and disadvantage by providing direct practical assistance to anyone in need.
Support available
Their supported accommodation consists of three separate projects and residents have access to support 24/7.
St Vincent's New Bridges is supported accommodation for homeless people age 25+. Residents work with our staff to address their individual needs through person-centred support packages.
New Bridges has 12 en-suite bedsit rooms, and residents can access a library, laundry facilities, large kitchen and IT and activity room.
Len Woodley Apartments offer six self-contained apartments, each with an open plan living room/diner, bedroom and en-suite facilities. One apartment offers modified furniture and a wet room for less able-bodied residents and another is capable of accommodating a couple.
They support service users to move from supported accommodation to housing that is more independent, ensuring they are ready and able to sustain a tenancy in the wider community.
Rosalie Rendu Apartments offer specialist support for homeless single women aged 18+. The accommodation comprises three self-contained one-bedroom flats with en-suite facilities. Within a safe, friendly and homely environment, the women are encouraged and supported to participate in social activities to build positive and meaningful networks of support and relationships.
