The funding, outlined in the 2025-26 interim Budget, will support the facility that opened its new premises in December 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are offering continued support to ensure they can continue to help Tasmanians when they need it most,\u201d Housing Minister Kerry Vincent said.<\/p>\n
The new facility features 74 beds and includes kennels so residents don\u2019t have to be separated from their pets.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you talk to the residents and you hear the emotional stories they tell, you can\u2019t help but be grateful this service is available to them,\u201d Vincent said.<\/p>\n

Vinnies Tasmania CEO Heather Kent welcomed the four-year funding commitment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe additional funding for Bethlehem House allows us to deliver an intensive model of wraparound support to men who have experienced a range of complex challenges that have led them to homelessness,\u201d Kent said.<\/p>\n
The announcement also confirmed two years of funding for Amelie House, a women\u2019s housing service that can accommodate up to 40 women transitioning from homelessness.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis funding\u2026 will have a direct impact assisting Tasmanians to transition from an experience of homelessness,\u201d Kent said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The state government has committed $2.82 million to Bethlehem House, securing the future of the vital men\u2019s homeless…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29432,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[153,155,154],"class_list":["post-29431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29431"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29431\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
