Successful tender for SHS program for the Upper Hunter

Ungooroo has successfully secured funding under the new SHS program (Specialist homelessness services).

We will be recruiting a new case worker under the program who will assist the community to address issues of youth 25 years and under who are homeless or are at risk of homelessness under the guidelines of the 3 year program.

This service will be operating out of Ungooroo’s shopfront office and will provide information and advice to people at risk of homelessness. We will endeavour to provide educational programs eg life skills, budgeting and promote community awareness of homelessness and issues that relate to the problem.

We will assist with linkages to access services and skill development for the clients by providing assistance to access employment, education and training, health services, children’s support services and accommodation.
