Mental Health - Supported Housing

We offer 25 comfortable, fully tenanted units, each equipped with essential amenities such as a phone and night store heater. Additional furnishings are provided based on individual needs, ensuring every tenant feels supported and at home. Our subsidised rent includes contributions toward power and phone costs, helping to simplify daily living expenses and promote independence. The Trust’s manager conducts regular visits to ensure the units are well maintained and tenants receive ongoing support. The Victoria Trust offers medium-to long-term accommodation, allowing tenants to decide when they are ready to move on. In addition, we provide an emergency room for those in need of short-term, immediate housing assistance.
