The NSW Government will transform disused homes at a former residential centre for people with disabilities into accommodation for people experiencing homelessness.
Homes NSW is leading the $2 million proposal for the Stockton Centre that will refurbish seven homes to provide temporary accommodation for up to 25 people.
It delivers on a commitment to investigate the temporary use of the former Stockton Centre for short-term accommodation to help drive down homelessness in the Hunter region.
Properties to be upgraded include five five-bedroom homes, one two-bedroom unit and one one-bedroom unit.
The project will be delivered in partnership with leading social and affordable housing provider, Home In Place.
