Pathways out of homelessness.
About us
Established in 2018, New Hope SA exists to find holistic solutions to homelessness. In 2020 New Hope began operating a transitional home that serves as a vital part of the pathway from homelessness to independent living.
Vision
At New Hope SA, we see a world where homelessness does not exist, where every person’s unique story and aspirations are celebrated, and where every individual is empowered to make their own choices.
We believe that every person should be supported on their transformative journey towards a thriving, community-oriented life beyond the streets. We are dedicated to creating a society that upholds the dignity, worth, and potential of each person, leaving no one without a place to call home.
Mission
New Hope SA creates pathways out of homelessness. It does so primarily through the use of transitional homes which can accommodate up to 10 previously homeless individuals for a period of 6 – 36 months.
Our approach is unique because we address homelessness holistically. We offer more than a place to live — we provide a community of support and expert care, where we work together with residents to identify and address the root causes of homelessness. In addition to residential support, psychosocial support services and our work-based programme, we provide individualised care to meet each resident’s unique needs.
A successful objective for New Hope SA would be for an individual who was living on the streets to find community, financial independence, emotional, psychological and physical healing and spiritual growth in the New Hope house.
Since we established the first New Hope transitional house in 2020, former residents have gone on to reunite with family, secure stable work, and even sign a lease for an apartment in their own capacity.

Buy a Product
The New Hope SA residents create all the products sold through our Work Based Program, which provides them with an income while they focus on achieving their long-term goals.
Our strategy is to help each resident secure permanent work outside of the program and transition to independent living while remaining part of our community. By offering this program, we empower residents to become self-sufficient and contribute to the community and themselves.
