Short-Term Crisis Housing

The Filipino Charity House is a charity initiative of AFCS providing short-term housing. In conjunction with this support, we provide crisis support case work with qualified Social Workers to assist in accessing mainstream support services including My Aged Care, Services Australia, Victoria Police, Department of Home Affairs, Local Government, and the Victorian Department of Families, Fairness and Housing and non-government organisations.

Every part of the Filipino Charity House is designed to care for the community, catering to their physical, social, emotional, spiritual and mental wellbeing

Provide short-term housing to individuals in crisis, offering stability when it’s needed most
