Family Temporary Accommodation

Family Accommodation and Support Program

This program provides medium-term supported accommodation for up to four families with children in motel-style units. Families Mum with babyare either homeless or at risk of homelessness. One three-bedroom house in the local community is available for families who are ready for more independent accommodation.

Each family is assessed and a support plan is developed with a view to eventually finding a long-term housing solution for the family and establishing the stability which will prevent the children from entering long-term substitute care.

In addition, a disability unit provides respite care and an adolescent unit provides accommodation for adolescents.
