Street Connect

Street Connect is a specialized government-backed outreach initiative focused on providing direct support to individuals experiencing rough sleeping in the Adelaide CBD. Operating from a central hub at Light Square, the program utilizes mobile outreach teams to meet people where they are, offering immediate assistance and building trust with those who may be disconnected from traditional services. Street Connect acts as a vital bridge between the streets and stable housing, coordinating with various health and social services to ensure a rapid response to homelessness. The team provides practical support, such as assessments for housing eligibility, referrals to medical care, and connection to emergency accommodation. By prioritizing early intervention and a “housing first” approach, Street Connect aims to reduce the duration of homelessness and provide a clear pathway toward long-term stability. Their dedicated staff work tirelessly to ensure that some of Adelaide’s most vulnerable residents are not forgotten and receive the professional support they deserve.
