St Mary's House of Welcome is a specialist access centre in the heart of Fitzroy providing basic essential services to people who experiencing homelessness, disadvantage and social isolation.
Many of those who turn to St Mary’s House of Welcome experience multiple issues such as sleeping rough, drug amd alcohol addiction, poverty, childhood trauma, mental illness, and institutionalisation, all of which adds up to chronic social and health problems.
Homelessness can happen to anyone, and our open-door policy means that anyone who needs help can come to the centre for practical assistance. Whether it’s a meal, a shower and a change of clothes, or more specialist support such as information, referral to access specialist services, legal support and emergency relief, we are there for those who need it most.
In addition to these basic services, we also provide a comprehensive program of social inclusion activities such as art and craft, gardening, fishing, choir, social excursions, and pool and footy-tipping competitions, all with an emphasis on creating a sense of belonging.
