Central Highlands Homelessness Alliance
The Central Highlands Homelessness Alliance (CHHA) brings together services, community organisations, government agencies and individuals committed to preventing and reducing homelessness across our region.
Through collaboration, shared learning and advocacy, we work to strengthen local responses to homelessness, improve outcomes for people experiencing housing insecurity, and create lasting change within our community.
We believe everyone deserves access to safe, secure and appropriate housing. By working together, we can build a community where people are supported, connected and have the opportunity to thrive.
Whether you are a service provider, community member, person with lived experience or organisation wanting to make a difference, we welcome you to be part of the conversation and the collective effort to create positive change.
