The Inner Southern Homelessness Service is a regional homelessness gateway and service hub, which facilitates a combination of on-site, community-based outreach and in-home support.
The Inner Southern Homelessness Service professional staff are available during business hours to assist people who may be
- Homeless
- At risk of losing their tenancy
- Residing in a boarding house
- On a wait list for accommodation
We are funded to provide a generic homelessness service and as such welcome singles, couples and families.
If we are unable to assist, or more specific assistance is required, we will refer on to a more specialised homelessness service.
Who can access the service?
The service has been established to help people who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness achieve the maximum possible degree of self-reliance and independence, to assist in resolving crises and to re-establish a capacity to live independently of a specialist homeless service.
