St Mary's House of Welcome hosts a vital 'Day Centre' for many of the most disadvantaged people in Melbourne.

We understand, homeless is not merely a matter of housing, but being deprived of the normal supports of home and the skills and knowledge that might be gained there.

St Mary's House of Welcome focuses on supporting those people in need.

* We focus on disadvantaged people with normal needs for affection and regard.

* We focus on disadvantaged people with a need to belong somewhere.

*We focus on disadvantaged people with a need to work and their opportunity to do it in a way that brings a sense of self worth and enjoyment.

* We focus on meeting each person's needs. (not just their wants).

* We work together in an open atmosphere of acceptance, support and - often - fun.

St Mary's House of Welcome works towards solutions for each person in need. We consider, how each person, can best be empowered to improve his/her own situation

St Mary's House of Welcome works towards inspiring each person, in need, to develop their own solutions. We encourage each person to work 'their own plan' that offers support for growth and redevelopment into the larger community.
