Catherine House: Inside the new sanctuary named after woman who died on Belfast streets

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.

Commissioned by the Housing Executive and funded through the Supporting People Programme, the new facility will be operated by the Welcome Organisation. The new, bespoke, supported accommodation-based service is for women experiencing homelessness.
