Clarendon Shelter

Clarendon Shelter provides temporary accommodation of up to two years in our premises on the Northland Road for homeless women with or without children who are experiencing complex needs. Since 1978 the service has been available 24/7 with staff on duty and has a direct access policy. We offer an environment of safety free from the risk of violence and emotional distress. The provision of practical support leads to benefits including welfare benefits applications, homeless applications and housing waiting list support together with basic life skills training and improved physical health. We try to prevent homelessness reoccurring through the provision of support and training in understanding how to maintain a tenancy and through our resettlement programme.
