Women Up North Housing Information

Women Up North Housing (WUN), operates in the Northern Rivers area of NSW. Our head office is in Lismore and we provide services in Lismore and its neighbouring villages and LGAs. Our service delivery is supported by our membership of the Northern NSW Specialist Homelessness Services (SHS) consortium which provides Specialist Homelessness Services to the Aboriginal community and Specialist Domestic and Family Violence services to women and children from Tweed to Grafton. This consortium of SHS services is funded by FACS and the lead agent and contract manager is OTCP. We also provide advice about other services and supported referrals to other SHS programs in our region and throughout NSW. We achieve this through case management, group work and programs for clients, and by developing and maintaining professional partnerships with other service providers. Women Up North Housing operates in the Northern Rivers area of NSW, across the local government areas of Byron, Ballina, Lismore, Kyogle and Clarence Valley. Our service delivery is greatly enhanced by our membership of the SHS consortiums that include the Aboriginal Service Alliance and the Domestic Violence Women's Alliance. This consortium of SHS services covers Tweed to Grafton. Family and Community Services NSW funds our Alliance to provide domestic violence services. We also receive grant money, cash and in-kind donations from Lismore City Council, Northern Rivers Community Foundation, Coles Supermarkets, ZONTA, The Body Shop, the Uniting Church, Knitting for the Needy, St Vincent de Paul, Salvation Army and the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Women Up North Housing acknowledges the Bundjalung Nation and the Widjubul, Arakwal, Gumbayngirr and Yaegl peoples who are the traditional custodians of the land that we work and walk on.
