Shoalhaven Council has voted to sell land housing a youth center, homeless shelter, and children’s disability service — a move that could uproot vital community support amid a push to raise $14 million and avoid rate hikes. With a narrow vote and little warning for impacted groups like Safe Shelter Shoalhaven and Noah’s Inclusion Services, the decision has sparked outrage, especially as the only emergency overnight shelter in the region faces hundreds on a waitlist. Council members clashed over whether homelessness is a state issue or local responsibility, while acknowledging the emotional toll on vulnerable residents. Though the council promises to assist relocation, the future of these essential services hangs in the balance.
