Site preparation work has commenced for the construction of two disability group homes at Mayfield.
The homes will be built adjacent to CatholicCare's new facility in Crebert Street and will accomodate 5 people in each home with 24 hour care.
22 affordable 1, 2 and 3 bedroom housing units will also be built on the site which will be made available to people who work full time but may have a lower earning capacity.
The new facility will add to CatholicCare's existing stock of 3 group homes in the Hunter region.
It's expected to open in July next year.
