Furnishing Futures Fund

Together, we can turn an apartment into a home for people who are exiting homelessness.

St Pat's Furnishing Futures Fund

In our communities we are seeing more and more people living amongst us without a place to call home.

At St Pat’s demand for our services has never been higher.  Last financial year alone St Pat’s supported 535 people with accommodation, a 65% increase on the previous year.  And most worryingly, more women and families are coming through our doors at St Pat’s than ever before.

People exiting chronic homelessness or fleeing domestic violence are unlikely to own their own furniture or to have reliable networks to ask for assistance. The idea of furnishing and taking care of their new home can be overwhelming.

You can help us to support people moving into their new home by donating to the Furnishing Futures Fund. 

Your donation will assist people with purchasing furniture, homewares and other housing necessities to turn their apartment into a place to call home, perhaps for the first time in a very long time. Somewhere they can thrive.

Join our community! Become a St Pat’s supporter, and donate now to empower our clients in their hopeful new beginning.

St Pat’s Redevelopment Project

St Patrick’s Community Support Centre (affectionately known as St Pat’s) has been supporting people facing homelessness in south metropolitan Perth for more than 50 years.

One of the accommodation options St Pat’s provides for those experiencing homelessness will be the major redevelopment of St Pat’s Fremantle site, featuring 28 purpose-built apartments, alongside our brand new community engagement hub. The apartments will provide supportive housing, bringing to an end people’s experience of chronic homelessness and offering a new start.

With support from St Pat’s staff and the Furnishing Futures Fund, we can empower our tenants to turn their new house into a home by choosing their own furnishings.

Their furniture will be theirs to keep and maintain, providing a launch pad for their new life off the streets, and the opportunity to create a home they can take pride in, and thrive in.

Please donate to the Furnishing Futures Fund today to help someone move into a new home with dignity.
