Emergency Housing

Facing homelessness or a housing crisis is a daunting experience. During such challenging times, you need immediate support and assistance. That's where your state or territory government can step in. They provide various forms of temporary emergency accommodation, such as low-cost hotels, motels, and caravan parks. Additionally, they may also offer help with a rental bond.
