Homeless Services in Canberra/Goulburn Central Council

The St Vincent de Paul Society has a strong commitment to the range of issues that lead single men and women, women and children, two parent families, men with children and young men and women to become at risk of homelessness or homeless. All our services provide case-management and advocacy for each client.

In general the Society’s services recognise that most people who experience homelessness will suffer depression and or some other form of mental illness, their physical health will deteriorate, there is high dependency on alcohol and or other drugs though the stigma and shame is higher with women than men, and nearly all will have suffered some trauma either as a child or adult or both.

The homeless services provided in the Canberra/Goulburn Central Council include:

• Blue Door (a drop-in-centre in Canberra)
• Family Services (various places around ACT)
• Samaritan House (in Canberra)
• Kennedy House (in Goulburn)
• St Anthony's (in Goulburn)
