Uniting on Hawker is UnitingSA’s latest development in Bowden and it is set to deliver 30 new apartments. These apartments will become secure, long-term homes for vulnerable women aged 55 and over who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

“Every day at UnitingSA we see the human impact of the housing crisis,” says Jenny Hall.
“We see it through the increasing number of people facing homelessness, sky-rocketing demand for emergency relief, and the growing need for mental health support. Many people are at breaking point.
“That’s why it is exciting to see this record investment in building new homes.

“I commend the government for all that it is doing to help build more homes. At UnitingSA – we’d love to partner with the government to build even more!
“It is not just about bricks and mortar. When people have access to safe and affordable housing, their lives change.

“A stable home gives people the foundation they need to dream bigger and live better. And that means a flourishing community – which is what we all want for South Australia.”
