Specialist Homelessness Services (SHS) Our Specialist Homlessness Service provides support to young people between the ages of 12-25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and who live in the East Lake Macquarie area. Our aim is to assist young people to find and maintain safe and secure accommodation. To identify and address factors that may have contributed towards the young person becoming homeless, such as availability of affordable housing, financial difficulties, unemployment, family or relationship breakdown, domestic violence, mental health, and substance abuse, to help prevent long term or repeated homelessness. The support provided includes, but is not limited to, information, referrals, case management, home and outreach visits, counselling, advocacy, family mediation, and living skills. PLEASE NOTE - We do not provide accommodation. People can self refer or referrals can be made by other services. SHS is funded by the Department of Human Services, Community Services.
