Bisinella Developments has contributed to the fight against homelessness in Victoria by donating a lot of land for local not-for-profit organisation, Samaritan House.

Proceeds from the sale of Lot 337 at Lara Lakes Estate will be used to cover the operating costs of the charity, which provides crisis accommodation for homeless men in Geelong.

This new donation brings Bisinella’s total contribution to Samaritan House to more than $1 million over four years, which has been helped approximately 70 per cent of Samaritan House guests move on to secure housing or rented accommodation.

Bisinella Developments Director Richard Bisinella said homelessness is a critical issue across Australia.

“This makes support for organisations like Samaritan House even more important, and I’m proud to contribute to helping the welfare of some of Geelong’s most vulnerable,” Richard said.

“I would welcome everyone to donate to this incredible organisation to ensure everyone in our community has access to essential services and support.”

Samaritan House Geelong has been offering crisis accommodation and support for homeless men in Geelong since 2012.

Samaritan House Geelong Director Wally Pelaccia expressed his gratitude for Bisinella Developments' ongoing support.

"We couldn’t provide the level of support to this vulnerable community without the support from Lino Bisinella and the wider Bisinella family,” Wally said.

“Bisinella Developments' donation of Lot 337 at Lara Lakes Estate is a testament to their commitment to addressing homelessness and supporting the Geelong community.

“This generous act will help Samaritan House continue to provide critical services to those in need and work towards a future where everyone has a place to call home.”
