THE
TERRACE

Home for the Homeless

HOPESTREET established The Terrace in 1989. It is different to other temporary refuges in the inner city in that it is a medium to long term transitional house aimed at providing the stable home environment and personal support needed to empower people to achieve independence in housing and employment and make other positive life choices. Casework, a living skills program and participation in the house community help develop the skills and attitudes which life on the street often dulls or deletes.  People are treated with the dignity and respect that they deserve and are supported in a place that seeks to provide a home for people who would not otherwise have a home and thereby experience in a tangible way the love of God. Residents are often very open about their faith journey and The Terrace provides an opportunity to explore this journey which many take up. Our presence at The Back Shed drop-in cafe and a breakfast in the street before Woolloomooloo Baptist service each Sunday morning provides many opportunities for contact with Homeless people.

The Terrace is supported by
Baptist Community Services
