Homelessness Services
Secure accommodation for people experiencing homelessness.
About the Vinnies SA homelessness services:
Vinnies is committed to assisting people experiencing homelessness, and this includes addressing the range of issues that lead to homelessness.
We currently operate two crisis accommodation centres; one in the centre of Adelaide that caters for men aged 18 and over, and one in the inner northern suburbs that accommodates women, children and their pets.
The Vinnies Men's Crisis Centre offers short-term emergency accommodation for men experiencing homelessness. We assist our guests with referrals to case management services and other agencies in order to secure long-term housing, while addressing other factors that are contributing to homelessness.
What is provided at the centre?
We focus on supporting men to break the cycle of homelessness and reduce the need for repeat crisis accommodation. A dedicated team of support workers and case workers provide guests with information and support dedicated to securing long-term accommodation.
The Vinnies Men's Crisis Centre has partnerships with many service providers and agencies to help the process of linking people with the right service at the right time.
We provide nutritional, tasty evening meals and light breakfast, showers and toiletries in a safe, supported and welcoming environment.
Where is the centre?
The Vinnies Men's Crisis Centre is located at 28 Whitmore Square, Adelaide.
How is the centre accessed?
Guests can present at the centre or can be referred through government or other agency channels.
