The first of its kind in Sydney, this residential aged care facility provides accommodation for both men and women who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, incorporating specialist services for people with high care needs.

The aged care home was approved by the City of Sydney in February 2017 who supported construction with a $1.5 million grant. The neighbouring property, St John’s Anglican Church, has been supporting homeless men and women for almost 30 years through programs such as Rough Edges, so it was exciting to see that this development was welcomed by the local community.
