Anglicare’s emergency relief teams provide necessities such as food, clothing and new tents, along with case management through the Eurobodalla Homelessness Support Service to assist people to move into more permanent accommodation.
“I regularly visit local campgrounds and touch base with people who access our service, and the ground is already waterlogged and concerning. The catastrophic lack in local housing, made worse by the Black Summer bushfires, means more people are really struggling.” says Anglicare’s emergency relief coordinator in Moruya, Pauline Sullivan.
“Most importantly, our team members provide a listening ear for people who are alone or still recovering psychologically from the trauma of
the fires and housing instability. Our emergency relief hub is a safe place where people can receive practical support,” says Ms Sullivan.
