St Bart’s provides short to medium-term accommodation for adults with persistent mental health challenges who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. We provide this recovery focused and trauma-informed service at our onsite supported Community Recovery Villages and Accommodation Units.
Mental Health supported accommodation
Accommodation Units

Each unit can accommodate up to six people at any given time.
Support staff partner with residents to maintain their mental wellbeing, determine their goals, develop a plan that assists with their recovery journey, and chart a course to securing appropriate longer-term accommodation.
