This is the new home that will serve as a safe space for women who find themselves in a vulnerable housing situation.
Catherine House will official open on March 19, seven years to the day that Catherine Kenny died on the streets of Belfast aged 32. The Downpatrick woman's name is placed proudly at the entrance the new shelter in South Belfast.
"It is a powerful building as you walk through it. You feel that sense of calmness. We have a fantastic new team that are so excited to be starting, and a wonderful service manager that is very experienced in this kind of work. We can't wait for the doors to open and to really start to make a difference to the lives of these women.
Walking through the doors of each room of the space, the women will be met with warmth and a home-like atmosphere. "The Housing Executive is looking across Northern Ireland to try and progress this. Over the next 12 months, we are anticipating putting £500,000 of investment into this type of facility. We really welcome Catherine House, and it is about people having a place of safety and security.
