Wollongong Emergency Family Housing is a community-based organisation that provides short-term accommodation and support to families and individuals.
Wollongong Emergency Family Housing (WEFH) supports and accommodates families and individuals who are homeless or are experiencing a crisis which threatens their current accommodation. WEFH assists families and individuals in crisis to achieve a level of independence that enables them to re-engage with their local community and live independently. Wollongong Emergency Family Housing Inc (WEFH) operates under a community management model within the Illawarra. We provide timely and effective responses for families and individuals facing homelessness. WEFH provides Homeless Specialist Services to families and individuals in crisis and assists them to achieve a level of independence that enables them to re-engage with their local community and live independently. Wherever possible we aim to work with families and individuals to maintain their existing tenancies and accommodation through support and guidance. The service achieves these aims by using an integrated collaborative service delivery model that identifies and responds appropriately to the needs of families and individuals, beyond that of providing shelter.

WEA Illawarra aims to brighten the future of individuals and their communities through the provision of learning and development services. As a registered training organisation, WEA Illawarra is proud to be able to offer the community quality adult education and lifestyle courses, business training, accredited training, English language services and access to training and computer rooms for hire. WEA Illawarra is part of the Community College network and operates as an independent community based not-for-profit company dedicated to the principles of life-long learning. This means WEA can offer the courses you need and the courses you want at very reasonable prices. WEA Illawarra recognises the value of a culturally diverse community and this is reflected in the courses we offer. We also value the importance of a tolerant society in which views are freely expressed and each person’s fullest development is encouraged and always seek to provide a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for students and teachers alike. WEA is the oldest non-government adult education organisation in Australia having been introduced into Australia in 1913. The WEA stands for Workers’ Educational Association and was formed in 1906, in England, as a way to provide workers with the opportunity for education. The first lecture was held in Wollongong in 1914 and until 1993 services in the Illawarra were provided by the Regional Council of the Workers’ Educational Association of NSW. WEA Illawarra registered as a Company in December 1993 and in 2007 the WEA NSW was disbanded. There are three other WEA’s in Australia (WEA Hunter, WEA Sydney, WEA South Australia) however all are independent of each other but sharing a common ancestry.
