Our Housing Development Project
The Pavitt Street Social Housing project is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of young families that have no place to call home.
To address this urgent need, the Society of Saint Vincent De Paul Christchurch has built an innovative housing project that will enable up to seven young families at one time to access warm, affordable and secure housing. It will also help young parents to pursue employment, training and education opportunities so they can build a better future for themselves and their children.
