Supported accommodation properties

We offer a range of supported accommodation properties for women that aim to provide a safe space to stabilise circumstances for up to 12 months. During this time, our team will work in partnership with tenants to ensure they access the support they need to thrive and reconnect with their communities of choice. 

Our team also recognises that a large proportion of women and children are homeless as a result of family or domestic violence, which is why confidential and discreet emergency and safety planning for each of our clients is available upon entry into the program.

Support we offer includes:

• transitional accommodation for up to 12 months
• support to regain control, confidence and strength
• parenting and domestic violence support
• linkages to education, employment and training
• support to access long term affordable housing options
• community engagement activities
