  Jan 2020 - Present - 258 Hutt Street, Adelaide Sa Australia 5000

  Homelessness can and does happen to anyone. Hutt St Centre is a place of hope and opportunity, helping people facing homelessness to rebuild their lives, without judgement. Each year, the Hutt St Centre serves over 40,000 meals and offers social work and support services to nearly 2,000 people. Showers, laundry facilities, visiting health professionals, an aged city living program for our older clients, recreation activities, education and training, legal aid and assistance with finding housing are all services provided to the 200 plus homeless people who visit the Hutt St Centre each day.Homeless but not helpless, Hutt St Centre believes in a society that provides all humans no matter their race, status, or conditions, equal opportunities in order to live a full life. Inadequate education and employment opportunities, lack of affordable housing, poverty and inequitable access to health care, are just some of the structural factors which marginalise homeless people in our society.We believe that together, we have a responsibility to care for those who suffer as a result of the inequities and to change those structures so everyone can benefit from the resources the community has to offer. We take up those challenges by working directly with the homeless population and being a voice for systematic change.
