An outreach case management, transitional and reintegration service for all genders with a history of involvement in the criminal justice system and at risk of homelessness who are looking to live in the Penrith and Blue Mountains Region.
The Nepean/Blue Mountains project works with people on release from prison who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness and who are looking to live in the Nepean, Penrith or Blue Mountains region. Transitional workers offer pre-release support and planning, and short, medium and long term intensive holistic case management (including assistance with housing).
Priority for this service is given to people who are currently incarcerated.
Wherever possible referrals should be made at least three months prior to release.
This project is a partnership with Wentworth Housing and is funded through DCJ.
