We are community
The House of Welcome was opened by the Daughters of Charity on the 30th May 1960 to assist homeless and disadvantaged men in Fitzroy. Today, in the spirit of the Daughters of Charity, we continue to provide support, solutions and hope for hundreds of chronically homeless and disadvantaged people in Melbourne.
