Lower Hunter Homelessness Support Service

This service operating as Carrie's Place Domestic Violence & Homelessness Services, supports men, women and families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in the Maitland, Dungog and Cessnock areas, including women (with or without children) affected by domestic and family violence.

This service provides client-centred homelessness support, including prevention and early intervention, rapid rehousing, crisis and transitional accommodation, and intensive responses for people with complex needs.

It provides support to clients to remain safely in their existing housing, or where appropriate, use a range of approaches to assist them to secure and sustain safe and stable housing. Once safely rehoused an accommodation has been secured, post -crisis support is provided to assist them to maintain the accommodation.

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

This service provides a women’s refuge:
