Emergency & Long Term Accommodation Moranbah IncRegistered

Our mission is to provide holistic care to individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, vulnerable youth who have disconnected or at risk of becoming disconnected and provide emergency relief (in many forms) to those in need. 2024 was a big year. This year we have provided 2842 safe bed nights off the street and have housed 37 individuals and families who were unhoused. These clients stay in our crisis housing until they can enter more permanent accommodation. Due to the horrid homelessness crisis it has been a busy but rewarding year. For young people we have provided 414 hours of case management support, provided13 individuals with new development plans, hosted 3 major community youth events, provided 3 driving lessons 38 times leading to 6 drivers licenses for vulnerable youth. Provided 17 individual free school holiday programs ranging from art classes to bus rides to Time Zone and a silent disco. We have assisted 139 individuals with emergency relief (ER). This relief is made up of Personal Hygiene and dignity items, Dr visits, prescriptions, transport assistance and food and fuel vouchers. We host a monthly free community meal as part of ER and run a very popular Adopt a Family program at Christmas Time to enable struggling individuals and families to enjoy Christmas food and presents. This year we delivered 114 hampers provided by our wonderful Moranbah community. Our sponsored emergency food program provided 3703 sandwiches and thousands more snacks and pieces of fruit to schools for children who would otherwise go to classes without breakfast or lunches. As well as providing 1729 frozen meals to clients, our free pantry was stocked 46 times with essential nonperishable items. 212 click and collect perishable orders were made to complement pantry items. As an agency we have provided 312 one on one support hours to Centrelink Clients and assisted 687 clients from General Enquires to Centrelink Silver Service. Our Centrelink agency staff go above and beyond every day and also provide Centrelink support for Medicare, My Gov, Pensions and Child Support questions.
