The Refugee housing program provides accommodation and support for refugees when they first arrive in Australia. The clients for this program are referred by the Federal Government’s Department of Immigration, under the Integrated Humanitarian Settlement Scheme.

Anglicare manages their accommodation for the first three months, and helps new arrivals find and settle in long term accommodation.

Northern Family Accommodation (NFA) helps families (with children) who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, providing accommodation in a small number of fully furnished homes in the northern suburbs for up to 12 months.
