Arada steps in to support local crisis refuge during Homelessness Week

Keeping crisis refuge open when it is needed most.

During Homelessness Week in Australia, the Arada Foundation supported Biyani House, a crisis refuge operated by Women’s Community Shelters for women and children escaping domestic and family violence.

As Biyani House prepared for redevelopment using an innovative modular shelter model, the Foundation provided emergency shelter accommodation to ensure the refuge could remain fully operational. This helped maintain uninterrupted safety, stability and care for women and children during a period of transition.

The initiative reflects a practical approach to homelessness action, combining government, community and private-sector support to deliver immediate protection while longer-term accommodation solutions are being created.
