- More than shelter - supports for people experiencing homelessness
Homelessness is more than a lack of housing. Many people face complex barriers that require flexible, compassionate responses.
Discover the community-led initiatives offering dignity, safety, and practical help to people experiencing homelessness and learn how you can get involved.
From mobile showers to job readiness programs, hear directly from the organisations making a real impact in the lives of those doing it tough. This is your chance to connect with grassroots efforts and explore how small actions can lead to big change.
This National Homelessness Week, community members and service providers are invited to a free online webinar More Than Shelter - Alternative supports for people experiencing homelessness on Thursday 7 August.
The webinar features presentations from:
- Pets Of The Homeless
- Orange Sky
- Shower program
- Ready Set
