St Vincent de Paul Society Housing Australia
About
St Vincent de Paul Society Housing Australia, formerly known as Amélie Housing, is a Tier 1 Community Housing Provider (CHP) and the national housing company for the St Vincent de Paul Society in Australia. Established in 2012, its primary mission is to provide secure, affordable rental housing and associated support services to individuals experiencing homelessness, disadvantage, or living on low to moderate incomes.
Tips for Applicants
As a direct housing and service provider rather than a traditional grantmaker, potential applicants seeking assistance should refer to the St Vincent de Paul Society's general support services for individuals facing housing stress or homelessness. For partnership opportunities, direct engagement with Amélie Housing/St Vincent de Paul Society Housing Australia's operational teams would be appropriate.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation approaches its work by aiming to 'build hope through housing' for the most disadvantaged members of Australian society. It focuses on increasing the supply of Social and Affordable Housing and provides various housing solutions, including crisis, transitional, specialist disability, social, and affordable accommodation. Their unique connection to the St Vincent de Paul Society's network of members and volunteers enables them to offer wrap-around support and case management, promoting tenancy sustainment and improved quality of life.
