STREET OUTREACH PROJECT

Covid 19 had a huge impact on our Street Outreach Project. Our SOP operates on the Gold Coast and due to the positive assistance of the Queensland government, homeless people were provided with accommodation which meant our services became redudant. We saw very few women if any on the streets.

The Street Outreach normally operates on the Gold Coast and is aimed at supporting the most vulnerable women living on the streets. Statistically we know there are a large population of women who fall under the banner of “homeless”, but sadly we do not see these women on the streets.

There are so many reasons for this:

• Fear
• Embarrassment
• They may be couch surfing
• They may be in a domestic situation
• They may simply not know where to go

We work alongside Orange Sky Laundry, at some of their locations. It is so important to be able to collaborate with other organisations that facilitate an incredible service assisting our most vulnerable community members.

If you run a homeless service and have women attending your service and would like to know more about our project, then please contact us.
