Housing Support for People in the Macedon Ranges
Our Housing Support program provides assistance to people in the Macedon Ranges* who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The service provides assistance to single adults, families and women and children experiencing family violence. We also have a dedicated service for young people from the age of 15 years (see our Youth Housing page).
*If you live in Sunbury and you need housing support call Vincent Care on 1800 825 955.
Our program aims to assist people to move through crisis and/or homelessness to independence and to maintain appropriate, secure and sustainable housing.
The assistance we provide is tailored to the individual’s and family’s needs through case management which may range from a single session to more extensive contact and support.
The services offered may include access to crisis and transitional housing, assistance to apply for public and social housing or bond loans, advocacy, referral for generalist, financial, drug/alcohol counselling and children’s services.
Limited financial support is available through the Housing Establishment Fund (HEF).
For those in private rental accommodation, financial assistance is available through the Private Rental Assistance Program (PRAP).
