Modular Spaces
The Bridge Youth Services in partnership with Women's Property Initiatives
Project Overview
Haven House Shepparton (The Nest) is a partnership between the Property Industry Foundation, the Women’s Property Initiatives and The Bridge Youth Services to build 3 x two-bedroom homes where young mums (up to 25 years old) can live independently with their child or children.
These homes will provide a haven for young mums who can live to up to five year with the support of The Bridge Youth Services and each other.
As well as providing stability, support and safety, a crucial element of the program is to provide tenants with a rental history that provides future access to the private rental market when their circumstances allow for tenants to make that choice.
