Homelessness Assistance

The Axial Housing program uses a housing first strategy to first find long term accommodation for 32 people sleeping rough on the streets, and then provide supportive services addressing the long term issues that led to their homelessness. Catholic Care manages the program and works closely with HousingACT, St Vincent de Paul Society, the Early Morning Centre and Onelink.
