A Path to a Fresh Start

‍

‍What Is Reintegration Housing?

Reintegration housing is a specialised service for people living with disabilities who are due to be or have recently been released from custody and are at risk of homelessness. United For Care offers secure, accessible accommodation alongside a full range of supports that help ease the transition into everyday life. Whether it's connecting with parole officers, accessing mental health care, or finding employment, United For Care provides the foundation for a fresh start.

‍

How Does It Work?

When people leave custody, they often face a host of challenges—from finding stable housing to maintaining communication with parole officers or the risk of re-offending. Reintegration housing at United For Care ensures that people have a safe place to stay while receiving the help they need to reintegrate successfully. Our tailored housing options are designed for accessibility and comfort, while our support services address both physical and mental well-being.

With a compassionate team by their side, people are guided through essential services such as Centrelink, addiction recovery, and healthcare. This holistic approach empowers individuals to reconnect with their community and take control of their future.
