Connecting Home Plus

Connecting Home Plus is a tailored pilot program that supports older women in the Northern Rivers who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Our dedicated team provides one-on-one support to help you find and keep safe, appropriate housing, while also assisting with financial guidance and community connection.
