DWELLING PLACES HOMES
"Transforming Lives, Improving Futures"
Dwelling Places Homes is an experienced service provider developed with a wealth of knowledge and skills in caring for young people. Our background enables us to work with young people with varying needs and diverse background.
We believe every young person should be well prepared for adulthood.
At Dwelling Places Homes we provide a safe and nurturing environment that promotes empowerment, independence and choice.
We believe these foundations along with our educational and therapeutic services enhance the core living skills every young person needs to transition into fully independent living.
Ultimately, our young people leave our care establishing themselves as positive contributors to the society we live in.
