HOME in Queanbeyan

HomelessnessMental Health

HOME provides a long-term home for 20 people living with a enduring mental illness who are at risk of homelessness. Each resident lives in a self contained unit in a safe, loving and non-institutional setting. HOME provides lunch each day cooked by volunteers. Residents come together to enjoy a meal, good conversation and friendship.

Our vision is to provide a loving home for people living with an enduring mental illness; where they can live with the dignity and love they deserve. HOME is a place where residents are encouraged to live active and fulfilling lives within their community.
