Warlga Ngurra is a Specialist Homelessness Service (SHS). SHS is a NSW government program that responds to people who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. SHS in NSW went through an extensive reform program between 2012 and 2014, with the ambition to focus on prevention & early intervention to those at risk.  Homelessness is often created through domestic, family & community violence.

Doorways aims to support people as they seek to make changes in their lives. We believe everyone has the capacity to change and Doorways caseworkers walk alongside people as they develop plans to achieve their goals.

We know that life is not always easy. Unexpected expenses can pop up, circumstances can change and at times our financial situation can feel overwhelming. For people living on low incomes, every week can be a struggle. Hope Cottage is open every Tuesday 10.00am – 12.00pm.  A place to ‘drop in’, a place to find a listening ear. We also provide emergency food relief to help make life a little bit easier for local individuals and families doing it tough.
