Spotlight On the Homeless Persons Legal Service

The Homeless Persons’ Legal Service (HPLS) provides people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness with practical legal assistance. Informed by our casework and consumer feedback, we also address causes of homelessness through strategic engagement and policy advocacy with government and service providers.

They have recently launched the Women’s Homelessness Prevention Service (WHPS), which aims to help women at risk of homelessness, particularly women experiencing domestic and family violence.
