Housing Information and Referral (HIR)
HIR explores your current housing situation, together with options that exist to secure affordable long term housing.
The HIR process seeks to resolve the immediate housing needs of homeless people in the first instance, and then put in place support and links that will assist in providing people the means to both secure and sustain long term housing.
This is a confidential and non-judgemental process.
