House Of Peace Shelter

House of Peace 504 is a small, faith-driven shelter and place of safety based in Wolmer, Pretoria. Founded on a deep Christian conviction — and named after Jude 1:2, "Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance" — it is run by Renier and Elize, who have opened their community facility to those in desperate need with a generosity that has earned them profound admiration from those they serve.

House of Peace offers something that cannot always be provided by large, institutional organisations: a warm, family-like atmosphere where every person who walks through the door is seen and valued as a human being. They provide the most basic but most critical needs — a roof, safety, food, clean facilities, and a genuine sense of belonging — for individuals and families who have nowhere else to go.

What They Offer Survivors

Safe Shelter House of Peace provides emergency accommodation for people in need — including women and families who have had to leave dangerous home situations. The environment is described by those who have been there as feeling like "heaven on earth" compared to sleeping on the street — a safe, warm, private space where people can breathe.

Food and Basic Necessities Hot meals, clean toilet facilities, and warm showers are provided to residents and those in need in the surrounding community. For many, this is the most immediate and urgent form of support they need in a moment of crisis.

Employment Connections House of Peace actively connects residents with employment opportunities — helping people move from crisis toward independence with practical, real-world support.

Spiritual and Emotional Support As a faith-based home, spiritual care and community are available for those who want it. House of Peace is rooted in the values of mercy, peace, and love — and that ethos shapes every interaction between staff and residents.
