Renovation for crisis accommodation

Woy Woy Women and Children's Service is to be renovated with a funding allocation of $250,000.

The funding comes from the State Government's crisis accommodation program.

"The Woy Woy Women and Children's Service plays a vital role in the local area providing a place to stay for people in housing crisis who would otherwise be homeless," said Member for Peats Ms Marie Andrews.

"This renovation of Woy Woy Women and Children's Service will improve the amenity and privacy for clients.

"This project is a valuable partnership between the Government and a non-government organisation that will provide support services."

Ms Andrews said that the investment was an "excellent example" of local community groups working in partnership with the government to find local solutions to local issues.

Ms Andrews said the investment showed that the Iemma Government was making real progress in providing much-needed accommodation for the most vulnerable in the community.
