Great energy today at the Housing First Europe Conference – Building Bridges. Catherine is hearing from colleagues across Europe about how they’re implementing Housing First — what’s working, what’s changing, and how collaboration is driving better outcomes for people moving into secure, permanent homes.

Inspiring conversations, shared learning, and a seriously cool venue for big ideas.

Noel also addressed the poverty line and how much harder it is today to own your home.

When Catherine White, our Regional Services Manager, talks about working with the Good Shepherd Centre, she speaks from experience — and from a sector that’s constantly growing, adapting and expanding its services.

Working here means joining an organisation that’s moving forward all the time. New projects, new supports, and new ways of meeting the needs of people experiencing homelessness.

If you’re considering a role that offers real impact, steady teamwork and room to grow, her message is worth a listen.
