National Housing and Homelessness Agreement (NHHA) ERO Campaign – Stop Cuts to Homelessness Services
The 2020 Federal Budget did not include funding for the Commonwealth component of the Equal Remuneration Order beyond June 2021. This equates to a cut to homelessness services of $56.7 million nationally and $7.5 million in NSW. Homelessness NSW supports the Campaign being led by Homelessness Australia to reinstate this funding within the NHHA.
In recent years, both Commonwealth and NSW Governments have failed to increase funding for homelessness services at levels commensurate to increasing costs and growing needs. We need the Australian Government to DOUBLE the amount of funding allocated to housing and homelessness services, and the NSW Government to reprioritise their funding allocation in the 2024-25 State Budget.
