The original Ozanam House was established in 1953, as a shelter for men in crisis. That building, once hidden behind a high wall, was no longer enough to serve its purpose.
In its place now stands an 11-storey building that has been transformed into a new, purpose-built homeless hub and resource centre. A building that will not only provide maximum amenity and support for thousands of people experiencing homelessness in inner Melbourne into the future, but that will integrate with the surrounding community and neighbouring environment.
The facilities include 60 crisis accommodation rooms, 48 transitional rooms, and 26 self-contained apartments. Also located at the Flemington Road site, a café, health clinics, activity areas and various multipurpose rooms.
The system will also include an Innotech ATOM Data Acquisition and Management software for trending and reporting on energy usage from various utility meters and run hours monitoring.
