Home of St Francis
The Home of St Francis is an Australian nonprofit organisation providing housing and support services to refugees, asylum seekers, and individuals experiencing mental health challenges. While limited public records detail its founding year, the organisation's mission aligns with social service principles centered on human dignity and equity.

Services
The Home of St Francis offers accommodation and financial assistance to refugees and asylum seekers, alongside mental health support through housing provisions[3]. Its work emphasizes community integration and crisis intervention, though specific program structures remain undocumented in publicly available sources.

Context and Related Entities
The name "Home of St Francis" overlaps thematically with St Francis Social Services (SFSS), a separate entity operating since 1978. SFSS runs analogous refugee-support initiatives like the House of Welcome, which provides housing, casework, and employment assistance[1]. The Home of St Francis appears distinct from SFSS in governance and operational scope, though both share alignment with Catholic social teachings.

Historical Note
The name "St Francis House" historically refers to a 1946–1959 Adelaide-based residential facility for Aboriginal boys, unrelated to the modern Home of St Francis[5].

Funding and Partnerships
While detailed financial data for the Home of St Francis is unavailable, similar organisations like SFSS collaborate with grantors such as the Australian Antigonish Co-Operative Development Ltd and Blue Mountains Refugee Support Group[4]. The Home of St Francis may operate through analogous philanthropic or government funding channels.

Scope and Impact
The organisation focuses on addressing systemic barriers faced by marginalized groups, particularly in housing stability and mental health advocacy. Its approach reflects broader Australian nonprofit efforts to bridge service gaps in refugee resettlement and psychosocial care[3].
