For Homelessness Week 2022, it was great to highlight older women’s homelessness and speak about our new housing in Peakhurst. The Peakhurst property is the second to be completed in a program of 12 blocks by NSW Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) – all of which will be managed by the Women’s Housing Company providing housing specifically for older women.
