WPHP founder Claire Malone The challenge of securing such accommodation significantly increases where a client presents late at night seeking shelter, a spokesperson said. For this reason the Council appeals to any person who seeks secure shelter to make themselves known to the Council at the earliest possible opportunity, so that we can make accommodation enquires on their behalf.
For WPHP founder Claire Malone it was a busy week of working around the clock to try and help those out in the elements. On Monday, I got a call from a guy who was out in the elements, she said.

Since 1953, Vincent Care’s flagship social housing facility Ozanam House has been an important part of Melbourne’s response to homelessness, providing support to vulnerable people in the community. The redevelopment by MGS Architects has transformed the building into an integrated homeless resource centre and accommodation facility that also offers health and wellbeing services, all on one site.
The thoughtful design emphasises Vincent Care’s innovative and human-centric care model through a series of connected ‘neighbourhoods’ inside the building. The 11-storey tower accommodates 134 apartments on the upper levels, as well as administration spaces, a resource centre, health clinic, gym and library facilities, and a commercial kitchen serving both the Ozanam House residents and the wider community.

They give 700 to 800 parcels to people in need during the year. If people want help they can call the St Vincent De Paul store or go to the parish office. Mike and I hit the road for a run of furniture collecting from around the city. We pick up a chest of drawers from Keenan’s generous neighbour, a lounge suite and then some children’s chairs. None of the lifting is too arduous, including the set of chairs and couches, even for someone who spends their days on the end of a keyboard and notebook.
