Emergency Help

There are many complex and varied reasons why people may find themselves homeless and there are no stories that are exactly alike.

There are many common misconceptions about homelessness. We know that it can strike anyone at any time. Research shows that close to half the homeless population are female, many with young children but we see people of all ages, races, religions and community backgrounds.

Domestic violence is the biggest single contributor to homelessness. Other major contributors are poor mental health, family breakdown, debt, poverty, lease expiry, family violence and abuse, chronic gambling and substance addiction.
