KEIHS
Keys to Early Intervention in Homelessness Service (KEIHS) provides holistic support to people who are at risk of homelessness within the Sunshine Coast region.
Our Aim is to sustain people in their independent accommodation where possible, to minimise their exposure to situations of greater risk and to support people to develop positive links within their communities and networks.
Our Philosophy is to provide a client centred service which responds to people with dignity and respect at all times.
KEIHS operates from Maroochydore, Caloundra, Caboolture and Morayfield. Qualified support staff work from a strengths based perspective which acknowledges the client as an expert in their own lives and seeks to assist people holistically in their unique journeys. Through these processes, we aim to improve clients’ access to education, information and resources within the community, so that people exit KEIHS feeling a sense of hope and that they are able to participate in their communities.
