Details
Jenny House was established in 1994 by Parkerville Children's Home to provide safe, supported transitional accommodation to young women who are homeless or likely to become homeless. In 2008 it became Penny Jones House.
Jenny House has been relocated over the years, but has retained the name of its initial sponsor, 'Jenny Craig' the weight loss company. In 1996, Jenny House was located in Kewdale and received funding from the Commonwealth/State funded Supported Accommodation Assistance Program in 2002.
