This is terrible – why can’t people try to be at least a little more understanding?? how is this poor mother expected to survive off paying for expensive housing as well as utilities, when she can’t work ?? the government should perhaps create a few more public houses, or help out a little more for people with disabilities that are unable to work….show some compassion.
And i’m sorry but “our kids need you”??? Just did a google search – the only place i find any reference to this group is on this site. How exactly is someone supposed to contact them if they need help? Website, email address, ph number, office? Anything?
It might be planning to do good things, but most of us have never heard of it before.
A group that doesn’t actually help kids and has no way of being contacted for help, is worse than useless.
Emergency housing in Colac? Are you kidding me? Takes a flipping miracle to get any real help with housing in Colac and the real estate agencies are atrocious. She isn’t working so they will not give her a house come hell or high water.
I know of someone else who has had to move to another town because emergency housing services in Colac will not help until he is actually homeless. And then tell him it could be months, if ever, before they will help.
He can’t get on the priority housing list for the housing commission without a referral from so-called family support services in Colac and they won’t help him because they are not set up to help males. Mind you he’s been on the list for a commission house now for over 2 years and has never even received a single offer.
Emergency assistance in Colac is all but non-existant.
