Delivering a specialised social housing and crisis‑support facility requires careful coordination across government agencies, service providers and community housing partners.
New Generation Catherine House
A safe place to rebuild.
The $36 million New Generation Catherine House development will provide 52 self-contained apartments for women experiencing homelessness, many of whom have escaped domestic, family and sexual violence.
Located in Adelaide’s CBD, the eight-storey development combines crisis, transitional and longer-term accommodation with integrated support services. Trauma-informed design principles will create a secure and welcoming environment that supports safety, dignity, recovery and greater independence.
Housing and support under one roof.
The development will bring accommodation together with case management, counselling, health services, education and recovery programs. It will include specialist spaces for respite and recovery, education, staff support and secure outdoor areas, serving both individuals and small families.
RCP is leading procurement, stakeholder coordination, programme oversight and construction-phase management, working with Housing Choices and Catherine House to ensure the building supports their operational and service-delivery needs.
Construction commenced in November 2025, with completion planned for early 2027. Once complete, New Generation Catherine House will significantly expand access to safe, supported accommodation for women in South Australia.
