Crisis & Suported Accommodation Services
Supported services cannot provide emergency accommodation.
Supported accommodation means that there is a worker available to assist you
with housing and/or any other issue that may be affecting you.
There is often an assessment process and waiting lists for these services.
Crisis accommodation services you may need to call or visit & be interviewed prior to being offered a place. Most options have a cost involved. However this may be negotiable, depending on circumstances.
