In some cases these organisations will approach the Department of Housing and Works to be the lessor of accommodation and they will sub lease the property to a customer and provide intensive support to assist the customer address their various issues. The Department of Housing and Works has a Homeless Helpline in place, which has a directory of accommodation and services available to people seeking housing.
