MOSS-Hume Transitional Support Program

The MOSS-Hume Transitional Support Program provides medium to long term transitional support. The core work of the MOSS-Hume Transitional Support Program is case management. The program is outreached focused.

The key role of the MOSS-Hume Transitional Support Program is assisting consumers to address the barriers to obtaining and more significantly maintaining appropriate accommodation.

The MOSS-Hume Transitional Support Program does this by assisting the consumer to develop a case plan that addresses these barriers. There is a strong focus on support issues such as Employment and Training assistance, living skills and capacity building activities.

MOSS-Hume will work with a consumer until they access long term secure housing (eg private rental, public housing, community housing) and the team is confident they have the appropriate support network in place to ensure they are able to maintain the tenancy.

The MOSS-Hume Transitional Support Program is made up of two teams T1 and T2. Tracey is the team leader of T2 and Liam is the Team Leader of T1 The MOSS-Hume Transitional Support Program is part of the Hume Moreland Homelessness Network. Both teams take their referrals from the St Vincent’s HIR team which is the “Access Point” service for the network.

Anyone who requires assistance with housing or support in the Hume Moreland region should contact St Vincent’s on 1800 618 468 (free call) or 9300 2977 and they will refer to the most appropriate service when a vacancy becomes available. If you would like any further information about the Hume program and how it works please call our Broadmeadows office on 9359 5493 and ask for someone from T1 or T2.
