The Power of Community: Creating Lasting Solutions for Homelessness in Brisbane

Sheltered by Grace About family

Our Story

Sheltered by Grace was born from a desire to see a real and lasting solution to homelessness in Brisbane.

Inspired by the Common Ground model's success, our Co-Founder and CEO, Jason Loakes, was driven to bring this innovative approach to Australia. We go beyond temporary fixes, providing individuals with the support they need to overcome complex challenges like addiction, mental health issues, and past trauma.

Our Approach

Helping People,
Not Just Housing Them

Our clients face multiple challenges. They may need help managing physical and mental health, overcoming addiction, and learning essential life skills like budgeting and cooking. We provide comprehensive case management and training to empower them to rebuild their lives.

A Warm Bed. A Second Chance.
Your Donation Can Change Everything.

Imagine someone forced to sleep on the cold streets, with nowhere to feel safe and warm. Now, picture them stepping inside, welcomed by the comfort of a bed and a hot meal. That transformation, that glimmer of hope, is the power of your generosity.

At Sheltered by Grace, we offer
homeless solutions and programs that help the homeless rebuild their lives. Give what you can, and together, we can create a community where everyone has a place to call home.

Just $33 – the cost of a couple of coffees

For less than the cost of a daily coffee run, you can provide a warm bed, nourishing meals, and a glimmer of hope for someone experiencing homelessness.

With $66, you can offer two nights of safety and support

Give the gift of two nights of shelter, allowing someone to catch their breath, gather their thoughts, and begin planning for a brighter tomorrow.

A gift of $132 provides four nights of shelter and access to essential services

These programs provide vital resources such as job training, healthcare access, and counselling, offering a lifeline back to independence.

Why Our Model Works

Why Sheltered by Grace Makes a Difference

Sheltered by Grace isn't just another homeless shelter. We offer a unique solution to end homelessness. Here is what sets us apart:

Powerful Community

We believe that community is a key ingredient in creating lasting change. We foster a supportive and welcoming environment where residents can connect, build relationships, and feel a sense of belonging – crucial elements often missing in the lives of those experiencing homelessness.

24/7 Supported Accommodation

We recognise the complex challenges faced by chronically homeless individuals. That is why we offer 24-hour support, addressing physical and mental health needs, addictions, and past trauma.

Empowerment Programs

We equip our residents with the skills they need to succeed. Our programs teach budgeting, self-care, nutrition, and social skills, fostering independence and self-sufficiency.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

What sets Sheltered by Grace apart is our commitment to sustainability. Our innovative model focuses on long-term support, empowering individuals to achieve independence. Unlike government-funded programs, our self-sustaining approach ensures ongoing stability and reduces reliance on external resources. This allows us to provide our clients with the time and support they truly need to get back on their feet.

Lifelong Support

We do not believe in setting time limits. Residents stay with us until they are ready to move on, ensuring a smooth transition back into the community with ongoing support available.
