The Household Organisational Management Expenses (HOME) Advice Program assists families who face difficulty in maintaining tenancies or home ownership due to personal or financial circumstances. The program's early intervention approach prevents families from using crisis accommodation services. The Australian Government Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) delivers the HOME Advice Program through a partnership with Centrelink and community agencies in eight locations throughout Australia - one in each state and territory. Each site delivers the service to families within the relevant Centrelink Customer Service Centre area boundary.
HOME Advice Operational Guidelines
The Australian Government Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) has developed Operational Guidelines for HOME Advice services.
