CatholiCare welcomes the Federal Governments recent decision to extend funding agreements for the youth homelessness program, Reconnect.

The program, which is funded by the Department of Social Services, uses community based interventions to assist young people aged 12-18 years who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, and their families to help stabilise their living situation, achieve family reconciliation and improve their level of engagement with education, work and their local community. Reconnect Case Workers offer counselling, mediation, group programs and practical support to the whole family to break the cycle of homelessness.

CatholicCare has been providing this vital program across Canberra and regional NSW (Young, Boorowa, Canowindra, Grenfell, Moloney, West Wyalong and surrounds) since 1996. At a time when funding for homeless services is uncertain with the threat to federal National Affordable Housing Agreement (NAHA) funds, CatholicCare is relieved to know that this outreach and intervention service for at risk young people is secure for another year.
