Fletcher Street Cottage
About the organisation
Fletcher Street Cottage (FSC) is a community-led response to homelessness in the Byron Shire, a region experiencing one of the highest rates of homelessness in New South Wales. Established by Byron Community Centre in 2022, FSC operates as a trauma-informed, low-barrier hub providing immediate relief alongside pathways to longer-term housing, health, and stability.
Our commitment
Three-year partnership with the FSC providing $150,000 each year to support some of their key programs. Rekindle’s support will contribute to stabilising core service delivery, strengthening workforce capacity, and supporting initiatives such as the Women’s Services Hub, which responds to the growing number of women and families experiencing homelessness and housing instability.
Critical Services
FSC delivers integrated support through daily access to meals, showers, laundry, material aid, and personalised advocacy from Community Support Workers, alongside more than 15 co-located and visiting specialist services. Since launching, FSC has become the region’s primary and most trusted access point for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, with demand continuing to grow across all forms of housing insecurity.
