Community Connector

Connecting people facing housing stress with the right support

Providing short-term, compassionate support to stabilise housing, connect with local services, and build lasting pathways out of housing stress.

Our Community Connector service provides people experiencing housing stress across Victoria’s Central Highlands with up to 10 hours of focused, short-term case management for each client.

Our timely, practical support helps to stabilise housing and prevent the risk of homelessness. Our goal is to assist you during a challenging time and help you regain a sense of security and control.

We understand that housing stress often comes with other challenges.

That’s why we connect you with a trusted network of local services, including financial counselling, tenancy advocacy, mental health support, and family violence services—ensuring you’re not facing this alone.

Our Connector works closely with rental providers, support agencies, and government partners to address tenancy issues early. We advocate for sustainable housing outcomes and help build long-term pathways out of housing stress—because everyone deserves a safe and stable place to call home.
