About Street to Home

Since the beginning of the service in mid-2018, Neami’s Street to Home service has housed almost 150 people who were sleeping on the street and in parks in the Adelaide CBD, making a difference to individuals and the community. Street to Home provides culturally appropriate, assertive outreach and case management with people sleeping rough in the Adelaide CBD within a Housing First approach. Street to Home also provides access to primary health and other health and support services through clinicians at the hub and via street outreach and post-crisis support once people move into their new home.

The Street to Home team is a multidisciplinary team consisting of a service manager, service coordinators, a team of community rehabilitation and support workers, peer support workers, registered nurse, general practitioner and an operational support officer. Neami Street to Home service is underpinned by a collaborative recovery model, lived experience, trauma informed practice and a quality and safety framework. Neami Street to Home is a key partner in the Adelaide Zero Project, a collective impact project with the goal to end rough sleeping homelessness in the inner city by 2020.
