Coast Shelter has received $500,000 Federal Government funding to establish new crisis accommodation and transitional housing.
The funding will help Coast Shelter to deliver 32 dwellings on the Central Coast for women and children experiencing family and domestic violence and older women at risk of homelessness.
Central Coast Federal Labor MPs, Emma McBride (Dobell) and Dr Gordon Reid (Robertson) announced the funding this week, to be provided through the Housing Australia Future Fund.
The government has announced 41 organisations across Australia will share in $100M for new crisis and transitional housing for women and children impacted by family and domestic violence, and older women at risk of homelessness.
The funding will help thousands of women and children across Australia and is another part of Labor’s housing reform agenda.
Hundreds of applications were received and were assessed through an open-competitive grants process and all successful projects, including Coast Shelter, demonstrated how the projects will meet the needs of women and children and older women at risk of homelessness.
