Project Esther has limited short term accommodation for women in difficulty or crisis. These are called Ngā Whare Atawhai (Houses of Kindness).

Our social worker journeys alongside the women and their families living in these houses to support them into longer term housing.

These houses fill up very quickly. To enquire about them, please get in contact with us.

Thanks to my probation officer for putting me in touch with the amazing people at Project Esther. I had support in all forms from the beginning to be able to start living a healthy safe life for the first time in quite a while! Firstly, they provided me with accommodation. It was a gorgeous warm little flat that really did feel like my own home which I could completely relax in. Even more than that though, they supported me emotionally and helped me to start thinking clearly again.
