“If it was not for the Specialist Homelessness Service, I would not be where I am today which is in my own flat with my dogs, and managing my day to day living”
“This service had helped me understand my visa with immigration and my rights”
“I am no longer moving from one family member to another with my child, we are now in a permanent flat”
I am now understanding my finances and have set up regular payments for my rent and electricity so I do not get in debt and end up not being able to pay my rent – I feel much more secure”.
We acknowledge the Wulgurukaba and Bindal people on whose land and sea we live and work, and acknowledge all First Nations people and cultures; we honour their Elders past, present and emerging. We particularly recognise the unique experiences of colonisation for First Nations Women and the contribution their voices continue to make within our organisation and the community in working towards reconciliation.
