Transition
Support

The staff at Bethlehem House understand that making the transition from homelessness back into the community can be challenging. That is why they are dedicated to assisting residents to plan for their transition from the day they arrive. Bethlehem House staff help residents to work towards their individual goals, such as:

  • Accessing legal services, accommodation, and employment;
  • Activities
  • Assisting with medical and mental health referrals;
  • Assisting with referrals for pensions, benefits, other financial assistance;
  • Financial planning and debt management;
  • Forming new friendships and networks; and
  • Reintegration planning
  • Rebuilding relationships;
  • Specialist counselling

For many residents, Bethlehem House is a stable, constant, and safe space from where they can plan for a life ahead free of many of the challenges that first brought them to the home in the first place.

We are proud of the work we do in assisting homeless men to restart their lives and grateful to everyone who supports our efforts to make such positive outcomes possible.
