Tamworth Homelessness and Housing Support Service

The service supports men, women and families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and includes women and women with children affected by domestic and family violence.

It provides client-centred homelessness support, including prevention and early intervention, rapid rehousing, crisis and transitional accommodation, case management post crisis support, and intensive responses for people with complex needs. Priority is given to individuals and families affected by domestic and family violence.

Another key focus of this service is to ensure clients and/or their children will be supported to access, maintain or re-enter education training and/or employment.

The service has a strong focus on responses for Aboriginal young people, women, men and families, and is accessible to people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. It provides 24/7 Domestic Violence Response Enhancement (DVRE) to strength their after-hours responses to women in crisis.
