Family Accommodation Support Services
We understand the worry of not having a place to call home. We're here to help.
Supporting You Through Our Family Accommodation Support Services
Our team state-wide are working with Queenslanders to provide a hand-up, not just a hand out.
At St Vincent de Paul QLD, we offer safe and secure temporary accommodation for families who are experiencing homelessness. We can provide short-term crisis accommodation and emergency accommodation and help your family access longer-term housing support.
Our team will work with you and your family to understand your housing needs, develop a personalised support plan for you, and help connect you to a wide range of services to overcome experiencing homelessness long-term.
If you are eligible, our Family Accommodation Support Services can provide your family with practical assistance by:
- helping you secure permanent housing,
- helping with your budgeting skills,
- getting employment support,
- support accessing education and childcare,
- connecting you with healthcare services; and
- obtaining any necessary documentation you need.
Did You Know? We work very closely with other agencies and services including housing providers, employment services, mental health providers, and community organisations. This means we can make sure you get comprehensive support and access to the services you need when you need it.
We want to ensure you get the right help. If you're ready to get assistance, read below for eligibility and next steps.
