What We Do
Her Solid Ground aims to provide single mothers and their children with a stable and affordable home, tailored supports and time to build a secure, sustainable future.
Our Housing Communities
Micro Communities
Purpose-built micro communities of six to ten independent homes. Communities will have private fencing and a secure gate for security.
Private Homes
Private comfortable living spaces for each family. Homes will have two or three bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, laundry and living spaces.
Shared Spaces
Shared spaces may involve a playground, a community garden, or picnic and entertainment area - designed to foster mutual support and connection.
The Family Journey
Families will not all follow the same path. A mother may arrive needing to focus almost entirely on safety and stability. Another may already have employment and stable routines, but need support to build financial resilience. Our role is to meet families where they are and support them to move towards their own goals. Families may move through three phases in their journey, which will guide the nature of supports provided.
1. Establish stability
Creating security, stability, predictable routines and meeting immediate practical needs.
2. Build capability
Strengthening the knowledge, skills, confidence, resources and connections that support family wellbeing and housing stability.
3. Strengthen the future
Developing a realistic, sustainable pathway beyond Her Solid Ground and preparing for the family's next home.
Support Around the Family
We will work alongside mothers to understand what matters to them and what they need to build a secure future for their family.
Support may include areas such as:
financial capability and budgeting
employment, education and training
parenting and family wellbeing
children's education and development
physical and emotional wellbeing
tenancy skills
navigating housing options
building social and community connections
accessing health and other services
developing longer-term goals and plans.
