MoreThan Homelessness Programme

Since April 2022, the MoreThan Homelessness Programme has been addressing the challenge of homelessness in the Worcester CBD area in a holistic, inclusive, sustainable, hopeful, and helpful way.

The purpose of the project is multifaceted:

  • To establish and maintain a network of roleplayers already working in the field, fostering collaboration and leveraging each other’s unique expertise and capabilities.

  • To assist homeless individuals more effectively, journeying with them because they are more than their monetary value, past mistakes, events, circumstances, loss, age, abuse, or disability.

  • To provide an alternative safe space for overnight stays.

  • To offer a day drop-in facility where the network of roleplayers can render services and programmes in a coordinated, holistic manner.

The comprehensive programme includes:

  • Creation of an independent development plan Development by a social worker and occupational health therapist.

  • Outreach and relief efforts to provide immediate support.

  • Rehabilitation and change readiness interventions to help individuals prepare for and embrace change.

  • Development and work readiness training to equip individuals with the skills needed for employment.

  • Re-integration/integration plans to support individuals in reintegrating into society.

Our Approach

This approach not only addresses immediate needs but also fosters long-term development and empowerment, much like the transformative work done by Breede Valley APD and MoreThanMeerAs in Touws River, where community members were invited to rediscover their true identities and engage in innovative actions to improve their lives.
