Making a Fresh Start: Elmore's Homelessness Project

Elmore Community Services

In this podcast, we speak to Art Lagun (Multiple Needs Case Worker), Tracy Jesson (Embedded Homelessness Worker) and Nataleigh Bateman (Team Manager, Floating Support Services) about Elmore's Homelessness Project in which the team were embedded within O'Hanlon House for this new pilot.

They talk about the client groups that they worked with as part of the project, the challenges that they faced and the unique support that they were able to offer as workers from an outside organisation coming into O'Hanlan House to improve the lives of people experiencing homelessness.

Many people who are experiencing homelessness have multiple and very different needs, and working with small case loads allowed the Elmore team to provide tailored support to every person they worked with. Not only did the clients themselves benefit from this pilot scheme, so to did the team at O'Hanlon House - and we very much hope that this work can continue in the future.
