WHAT WE DO
Centacare’s Housing First Support Service supports people who are sleeping rough in Geraldton. We are working in collaboration to end homelessness by:
- Providing intensive wrap around case management
- Providing assertive outreach to people experiencing homelessness and sleeping rough, including washing machines and a shower.
- Participating in the rough sleeper coordination group facilitated by the WA Alliance to End Homelessness.
- Using up to date data to assess and advocate for our most vulnerable community members experiencing homelessness.
