Aboriginal service provider REDI.E has secured around $165,000 to revamp three bedrooms for youth and crisis housing in Coonamble.

The upgrades include internal security fencing, cameras, crimsafe screens and bedrooms furnishing at the organisation's youth centre, which will also house people from surrounding shires like Walgett and Brewarrina.

The rooms at Walaaybaa-Li-Burrula (Home to Many) are expected to open within the next four to six weeks, according to REDI.E's Youth, Family and First Nations Language Services General Manager, Kevin Jones.

"We've got property there, let's put it to work," Mr Jones said.

"If you've got a stable place to sleep at night, then you can start working on the other areas of your life that might need working, whether it be a budget, whether it be mental health support, whether it be general health support, drug and alcohol.

"That's the sort of stuff that we're going to offer the participants when they come through.

"When we've got someone in Bre, Coonamble, Walgett, any of those areas, they don't have to come off country, or far off country or away from their community to get support."

Mr Jones said the rooms will cater for individuals and small families for stays of around four to 12 weeks.

Current REDI.E staff will operate the facility and work with tenants. 

Part of the funding under the NSW government's Homelessness Innovation fund will go towards having a staff member on call for emergency homelessness.

 Other upgrades involve a new shower and air conditioning, as well as bedroom locks, a kitchen uplift and repainted common areas.

“It’s fantastic to see the impact from these grants already taking shape in places like Coonamble, helping vulnerable young people find a safe and culturally appropriate place to stay while they are supported to find more secure long-term housing,” NSW Minister for Housing and Homelessness Rose Jackson.
