After years of having people sleep in the body of the church, the southern end of the building was converted into a 12-bed nightshelter in 1993, which then moved to the northern end and was enlarged to sleep 22 people in 1999. The Nightshelter provides emergency overnight accommodation and a family based environment, giving support to individuals who have been rejected by their families, previous hostel or by society as a whole.

Lorica St Patrick’s
is currently working on revolutionary night
shelter accommodation for the street homeless,
inspired by the Japanese pod hotels. Working
with input from homeless people, the concepts
aim to meet some general needs for security
and privacy as well as to satisfy individual
needs and preferences.
Initial reactions to
the concepts have been very positive and the
groundbreaking designs have been well received. |
