Shelter Housing Action Cairns (SHAC) has been supporting Cairns families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness on their path to a secure future for the past 37 years.
We offer a comprehensive package of wrap around support services to our clients including: supporting families to sustain at-risk tenancies, providing temporary supported accommodation and short term holiday accommodation to homeless families, providing support services to homeless families we cannot accommodate, and providing no interest loans and financial counselling services to our target group.
Our vision is to eliminate family homelessness in Cairns by supporting families to get and/or keep secure housing.
During 2024/2025 SHAC formally supported over 1,750 adults and 1,700 children and many more through the provision of informal supports, information and referrals. Across all programs over 80 per cent of our clients are First Nations people.
