 Mission Australia will officially open its new premises at Jacaranda House in Balcatta today.Jacaranda House provides a range of community services aimed at families and young people, including supported housing, youth and family support programs. State Director Ross Kyrwood said that funding for the new site was provided by Lotterywest. “The funding provided by Lotterywest has enabled us to buy furniture and refit the entire Balcatta site,” Mr Kyrwood said. “This generous support has played a big role in helping Mission Australia to continue to supply these important community services in Perth’s northern suburbs. “Jacaranda House offers support across the community - from supported housing assistance for individuals and families to the largest service offered at the site – Pathways Projects,” he said. Pathways is an early intervention and prevention program for 0-5 year old children and their families, promoting healthy development, positive relationships and strong communities. Pathways run focused community and therapeutic groups, such as the Healthy Lifestyles Program and also conduct free, school-based playgroups. Family support is offered in the form of informal counselling, information and referral. The Honourable John Kobelke MLA, Minister for Community Safety, will also attend the launch of the new premises. Mission Australia provides a variety of services across WA aimed at families and young people at risk of homelessness. These include Jacaranda House, Wattle House Community Centre in Maddington and the Youth Accommodation Support Service in Victoria Park.
