A specialist homelessness service, St Pat’s has been working side by side with vulnerable people in Fremantle and the wider south metropolitan region for 50 years. St Pat’s delivers a range of specialist, evidence-based services designed to break the cycle of homelessness and disadvantage, including housing, health, welfare and emergency relief and social inclusion. St Pat’s Day Centre is pivotal to our work by providing an engagement hub where people can be supported regardless of the stage of homelessness or level of need. On average we serve 18,000 meals a year, we distribute over 5,000 bags of fresh fruit and vegetables, provide nearly 4,000 health and 560 dental appointments a year. We assist around 1500 people per year with food, material assistance, advocacy, and referrals, and up to 180 people a year to access and or retain housing. St Patrick’s is also the lead organisation in the Imagined Futures collective impact group, which brings together over 60 organisations in the South West Metropolitan Region with plans to extend to Rockingham / Mandurah. This work includes a place-based cross-sector collaboration on housing and homelessness which is supporting the development of the Housing First approach.
