Who does the service assist? The Women’s Housing Company Homelessness Support Services provide support to single women, women and children, and young people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness. We have a strong focus on women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and Aboriginal women. Clients supported by the service may be experiencing or have a history of domestic and family violence, sexual assault, mental illness, substance abuse, exiting custody or other institutional settings, precarious immigration status, poverty or housing affordability stress. What can clients expect from the service? The service can provide practical assistance, such as basic furnishings, white goods and essential household items. Our experienced Case Managers can provide support aimed at addressing complex and diverse needs with a flexible and individualised approach. Links with supports in the community are encouraged and facilitated, utilising our strong partnerships and networks with key service providers across South Western Sydney. The strengths-based model of our case management builds capacity for women to live independently and to participate in their communities. What types of accommodation does the service offer? The Women’s Housing Company Homelessness Support Services operates a six bed crisis accommodation centre in the Liverpool area. The service also offers access to transitional supported accommodation in the Liverpool, Fairfield and Bankstown areas. The Women’s Housing Company Housing Services team and other community housing providers manage the transitional housing.
