We talk to St Vincent de Paul Society's John Purcell House Accommodation Team Leader David Simister about some exciting news - see video below.
When men come to John Purcell House they will be given great help and support.
The aim is to get men off the streets and find them a permanent place to live.
Dave Simister talks about the process and how it all works – see video below.
The $3.3 million men’s crisis accommodation centre was opened in June 2014 and the 17-bed complex replaced an old 10-bed complex but did not stay open for long.
Due to safety concerns with the building the hostel was closed in November 2015 but at last things are moving.
A great investment has been made, including have a training room aimed at getting men back on their feet – see video below.
