The Dunedin Night Shelter offers free emergency accommodation to both men and women in need. Located at 18 Lees Street, the Dunedin Night Shelter is open from 6pm until 9 am every day.
There is no doubt that there are people facing a housing emergency in Dunedin every day and night. Regardless of circumstances, these people have two things in common: they have run out of options and their needs are urgent.
Our aim is to encourage and assist self-responsibility. As well as providing support to those who would fit a definition of what we traditionally think of as ‘homeless’ the Shelter also regularly assists people who have suffered a life shock such as loss of job or relationship break up and need a hand to get back on their feet.
The Dunedin Night Shelter Trust was established in 2004 and has been running Dunedin’s only night shelter facility since 2006. In 2012 the Trust expanded its services with the introduction of the Phoenix Lodge transitional housing programme, based in a separate building on the same site as the Night Shelter.
