Anglicare are set to build new social housing in Rockhampton for women fleeing domestic and family violence.

The new crisis social housing units will assist children and women fleeing from emergency situations and will showcase intercoms, card readers, cameras and a master control that links up to the Anglicare CQ office.

Anglicare CQ Housing and Homelessness manager Adam Klaproth says, “They will be built in a secure gated community with their own individualised yards and homes, but also include communal areas for children to play and offer opportunity for recovering families to come together.”
