Several projects that will provide more housing for vulnerable women are underway, close to completion or are already tenanted thanks to investments by the State Government.

The six-storey Tucker Street Apartments building for vulnerable older women has ‘topped out’ at its full height, with work to be completed in early 2026, ready for tenants to move in.

The 50 studio apartments, with five accessible apartments for people with mobility requirements is being built for the SA Housing Trust by South Australian firm Mossop Group Pty Ltd.

The site will provide homes for older women at risk of homelessness with an on-site community wellbeing manager to support to tenants.

The ground floor includes space for support services to meet with tenants, as well as storage space, a common area, a courtyard and 59 bike spaces. It is close to Bonython Park, local services and shopping and public transport.

Across town, work is nearing completion on another 20 two-bedroom units on Sturt Street that have been refurbished by the Trust.

The units are completed internally with tenants moved in, with some external work still to be finished.

On Hutt St, the State Government, through a $5 million low interest loan from the SA Housing Trust, enabled not-for-profit YWCA to build 24 recently competed affordable rental apartments for women with experience of domestic violence.

Meanwhile, a New Generation Catherine House will assist more women with a new 24/7 crisis and longer-term accommodation service with 52 social housing apartments on a site owned by community housing provider Housing Choices.
