Despite having multiple caravans and crisis units the SJA is under pressure to find more to help the homeless in the Bega Valley.

"Even with 18 caravans and our six crisis caravan units supporting about 50 people tonight, I had three calls for help just today, Mick Brosnan of the SJA said on Monday evening, August 7.
The SJA has managed to secure a donated caravan which is coming all the way from the Rotary Club of Hall in the ACT but that too has already been allocated, Mr Brosnan said.
"We need to support our local community as best we can and if there are caravans out there in good condition but no longer needed, we could really use them," Mr Brosnan said.
The urgent call for caravans comes in Homelessness Week as the St Vincent de Paul Society reported increasing requests for assistance.
