CARE FINDER HOUSING SUPPORT PROGRAM

As a care finder organisation, we focus on helping older Australians who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

The Housing Support Program is commissioned by Primary Health Networks as a care finder. Services are provided at no cost.

To receive services, a person must:

• have no carer or support person who can help them, or

• not have a carer or support person they feel comfortable or trust, and

• be eligible for government-funded aged care.

Plus, they should have one or more of these reasons for needing intensive support:

• have difficulty communicating because of language or literacy

• find it difficult to understand information and make decisions
