Waitlist Support Service
- What We Do
- Waitlist Support Service
Our Waitlist Support Service offers outreach support and referrals to relevant services to women on our waitlist, including brokerage funding.
The flow-on effects of the housing crisis have led to significantly increased demands for Catherine House services, with more women contacting us for support. As a result of this increased demand, we piloted a new service in 2024 with a dedicated Waitlist Support Worker to better assist women on our waitlist.
Our Waitlist Support Worker provides outreach support and referrals to relevant services to women on our waitlist, including brokerage funding. This aims to minimise personal hardship from their current experience of homelessness and, where able, divert or shorten periods of homelessness.
Every woman without a home matters.
The Catherine House Waitlist Support Service would not be possible without the support of the Lang Family Foundation.
Roger Lang, Kirsty Roderick and the Foundation Board are long-term and valued supporters of Catherine House. The Lang Family Foundation collaborated with Catherine House to address the significant increase in demand for our services. Recognising the need for additional support for women on the Catherine House waitlist, a 12-month pilot program was established and funded entirely through the Lang Family Foundation.
We thank them for their ongoing support of women experiencing homelessness across South Australia.
