AN IPSWICH charity has overhauled an old hotel into a âhavenâ for the homeless but there is still significant work ahead to complete its vision to address issues compounded by COVID-19.
Goodna Street Life took over the Weeroona Hotel in 2019.
They have spent close to $180,000 in operating costs and construction, plus materials and new furniture so far.
They believe their ambitious project could be a solution for those sleeping rough across Australia. Weeroona Hotel in Goodna is now Helenâs Haven.
Vice president Steve Purcell, who has been with the organisation since 2016, estimates another $190,000 is needed to get Helenâs Haven completed.
