Housing Worker Campaign

The housing and homelessness situation is at a crisis point, housing is one of our most basis needs and it is unacceptable that in a country as wealthy as ours that hundreds of people have no place to call home. At the Newtown Neighborhood Centre we see nearly 50 people per week who come and ask us for housing assistance. The Centre has found problems in housing people in crisis accommodation, supported accommodation and long-term accommodation. Many people have told us that sleeping rough is there only option.

The Centre does not have the infrastructure or the resources to meet the needs of all these people. The Newtown Neighbourhood Centre is in urgent need of a full time housing worker. As a result of the situation we have decided to launch a Housing Worker Campaign. The Centre needs at least a full time housing worker as a matter of urgency.  We are asking for your assistance and support in this matter. 

Please sign one of our petitions or download our campaign sheet on other ways you can assist us to meet the needs of people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
