The Supportive Tenancy Service (STS) assists people across Canberra to maintain a safe and stable home. The service is available to all households, including public and private tenants and home owners. STS provides outreach support to people in housing stress, or who may be at risk of homelessness, regardless of the reason for their circumstances. The service also provides opportunities to expand knowledge, enhance skills, access resources, and build connections to communities in order to manage issues that may be impacting a tenant’s capacity to maintain long-term secure accommodation.
