The Stability First Housing & Homelessness Support Programme

The Stability First Housing & Homelessness Support Programme has continued to provide intensive, flexible support to women experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing their housing. Since it began in May 2025, more than 396 women have been supported, many facing domestic and family violence, mental health challenges and barriers to accessing mainstream services.

The programme’s flexible, low-barrier approach is helping women maintain or secure housing, reconnect with services nd navigate complex systems with greater confidence. Brokerage support has played a critical role in preventing tenancy loss, enabling swift responses to homelessness, and stabilising women during periods of financial crisis.

Our team's participation in the Homelessness Assertive Response Team (HART) and the Sydney Zero Action Group strengthens collaboration across the sector, improving coordination and reducing service gaps. Stability First continues to focus on supporting women toward safe, sustainable housing outcomes.

"I really appreciate all your help and checking on me means a lot.  I had a hard time the last few months and it is such a relief to see everything settling with work and a place to live with my cutie. It feels like since being in contact with Lou's things started to move and I was able to leave the uncertainty I was living in, which was affecting me a lot. I am very grateful for your presence in our lives" - Stability First Participant
