About Us
Together we can end homelessness
Your support helps transform the lives of people experiencing homelessness. Through your kindness, people can leave the streets behind and rebuild their lives.
Welcome to Hutt St Centre
Hutt St Centre is a place of connection, compassion and support, where people at risk of or experiencing homelessness can rebuild their lives, rediscover their identities and reconnect with their loved ones.
When people walk through our Wellbeing Centre doors, we address their immediate needs by offering a shower, a meal, clean clothes or a recharge of their phone. Additionally, we provide access across each week to over 20 visiting services, ranging from Government services to health and wellbeing supports.
We connect people to housing, education and employment opportunities helping them build their skills and confidence to change their circumstances for good. Every person deserves an equal chance to live a full life, and we recognise that it isn’t always easy or possible.
We advocate for systematic change and amplify the voices of those experiencing homelessness. Through advocacy, fundraising activities, our unwavering support and culture of respect, we are working to end homelessness and injustice for the people of Adelaide.
Our vision
An end to homelessness.
Our mission
To advocate with and empower people at risk of or experiencing homelessness, supporting them to rebuild their lives on their journey to homefulness.
We describe homefulness as: Having a place to live with a sense of security, stability, privacy, safety and the ability to control living space. Homefulness empowers a sense of independence and self-determination.
Our values
The core values of the Daughters of Charity guide us in achieving our mission:
- Respect each person: A high regard for the worth and dignity of each person.
- Provide quality service: Responding to the needs of others in a caring
and professional manner.
- Encourage simplicity: Honesty, integrity, transparency and clarity of focus.
- Advocate: Lobbying, advocacy and supporting the cause for people most disadvantaged
in our society.
- Boundless creativity: Boundless creativity and innovation in service delivery.
