Invest in the right help, when it’s needed: Increase homelessness services funding by 50%. With the right investment, services can prevent homelessness, not just manage it. Properly funded services can expand their focus from crisis to prevention, delivering a range of early intervention services that make a difference to people’s lives while alleviating pressures on the crisis system. Increasing funding to match the demand services face will also enable them to expand their reach and impact, investing in high-quality crisis accommodation, longer-term transitional housing and wraparound supports.
Support safe pathways from homelessness into homes. Commit to grow social housing by 10,000 homes a year until 10% of all housing is social housing. We need enough social housing to create real pathways out of homelessness crisis. Increasing investment in social housing will help NSW meet future need as well as existing demand.
