Rapid Response

The Inner City Rapid Response service provides case management and outreach support to single men and women experiencing homelessness in the Inner-City and Inner-Western suburbs of Sydney. The focus of this service is to find housing pathways so a person does not become entrenched in the long-term cycle of homelessness.

The Rapid Response program provides access to crisis and transitional accommodation, case work and advocacy support in navigating housing pathways (community housing, Housing NSW, boarding houses and private rental). The service can also provide brokerage support for basic living essentials.

We believe that by providing individualised, client-centered case management, we can help prevent people from becoming entrenched in the long-term cycle of homelessness.
