Project Completion / Heywood House
South.Rd was pleased to partner with McAuley on the expansion of their critical crisis accommodation offering with 14 new units.
This significant refurbishment transformed a former aged care facility into a new short-stay transition model - the first of its kind in Australia. Made up of seven single suites and seven family suites, communal areas, a children’s room and garden courtyard. The new Heywood House offers 35 women and children accommodation for up to two months as they rebuild their lives.
Family violence is the fastest growing cause of homelessness in Victoria with a severe lack of services available for those in need. Congratulations to everyone involved in launching this facility. We’re long and proud supporters of the incredible work of McAuley and it’s fantastic to see their Heywood House safe haven come to life! ✨
