About Us
Lions Emergency Accommodation Centre (LEAC) provides short term crisis accommodation and related support services for single women, families and single men who have overnight or extended contact with their children.
We also have a shelter comprising self-contained units for women and children escaping Domestic and Family Violence. The shelter provides safety and security at a confidential address and staff are contactable 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in case of emergency or for after hours admissions.
Our aim is to provide accommodation and/or support for people who are homeless and in crisis and all housing is located in the Nambour community. A fee for accommodation is charged based on income.
Other programs offered are ‘Better Start’, KEIHS and Emergency Relief. Better Start provides intensive, in-home support to clients to promote practical and parenting skills in a family-friendly way. The program is accessed by families who are new to the area and want to make changes in their life patterns.
Keys to Early Intervention in Homelessness Service (KEIHS) provides information, advocacy and referral and offers 12 weeks intensive home visiting support for people who are at risk of losing their housing and are residing in Caloundra, Maroochydore, Caboolture and Morayfield.
Financial assistance is available to residents of the Nambour Centrelink area who are experiencing difficulty paying essential bills. A referral from Centrelink Social Workers or other Emergency Relief agencies is required.
