Practical, respectful help for people facing homelessness or housing stress: someone in your corner to find safe housing and keep it.

Everyone deserves a safe place to be

Losing your housing, or living with the constant fear of it, is exhausting and frightening. We meet people in that moment with practical help and genuine respect, never judgement. Whether you are sleeping rough, couch surfing, or one bill away from losing your home, you can talk to us.

We help you understand your options, connect with crisis and longer-term housing, and deal with the paperwork and phone calls that feel impossible when you are in survival mode. And once you are housed, we help you stay housed, because keeping a tenancy is just as important as finding one.

How we help you through it

One step at a time, with someone beside you who knows the system.

Help when it is urgent

When housing is at risk, time matters. We respond quickly and focus first on getting you safe.

From crisis to stability

We do not stop at a roof for tonight. We work with you toward stable, longer-term housing you can settle into.

Keeping your home

Once you are housed, we help you manage tenancy, rent and the practical things that keep a home secure.

Frequently asked questions

I might lose my housing soon. Should I wait until it happens?

Please do not wait. It is far easier to keep a tenancy than to recover from losing one. Reach out as early as you can and we will help you act.

Do I need an NDIS plan for this support?

No. Homelessness assistance is a community service open to anyone in our area who needs it. If you also live with disability, we can connect you with NDIS support as well.

What should I do if I have nowhere to sleep tonight?

For immediate crisis accommodation in NSW, call Link2home on 1800 152 152, any time of day. Then contact us and we will help you plan your next steps.
