City Mission's Safe Space finalist in The Spirit Super Business Excellence Awards.
Read MoreOrana House provides crisis and long-term accommodation for males aged 21 years and over. Orana House also provides beds for Sobering up and Place of Safety for males and females. This facility is located in Newnham, Tasmania and is directly on the main bus route with a stop outside the main gate.
Working in partnership with Hobart City Mission and the Salvation Army the Safe Nights Spaces will provide a dedicated 24 hour/7 day per week facility for rough sleepers in Launceston. The service will offer a 12-bed facility, and limit client numbers to 25 during the day. Social distancing will be according to Tasmanian Public Health Restrictions.
Jeff first came to Orana House to sober up but stayed with us for a few weeks after. During this time he was able to reconnect with his ex-partner and his son and he started volunteering at Morton’s Place.
Jeff started seeking counselling for his alcohol abuse and attending church. The second chance to be a responsible father gave him renewed energy to make positive life choices.
Not long after moving into one of Orana’s longer term units, Jeff was offered a transitional unit in the community with his family by another service provider. He saw this as an opportunity to further develop his relationship with his partner and son as well as continue to receive support.
Jeff continued to help out in Morton’s Place after leaving Orana House as he valued the opportunity to give back after the support he was given.
Orana has helped me get healthier, physically and mentally, and for that I say thank you.
