In recent times St Pat’s has seen a dramatic increase in the number of people accessing our services and the combined housing, rental and cost of living crises means that the faces of those seeking support now include more women and families with children than ever before.
Engaging with established services like St Pat’s provides the opportunity for people in need to not only seek immediate crisis support, but connect in with a range of other services which aim to break the cycles of poverty and disadvantage that can lead to homelessness.
Australian studies have suggested that the life expectancy of people who were homeless was an average of 22 to 33 years lower than people who are housed. And this is why our mission to end chronic homelessness means so much.

The challenges facing us are big, but with your help, we are able to take action. Our dedicated team members are using evidence-based approaches that go beyond temporary measures and create long-term solutions to chronic homelessness. This includes providing housing, health and dental care, client volunteering opportunities and preventative financial assistance or counselling, so families can pay this month’s bills or get on top of rent arrears and continue living in their existing homes.
