The NSW Government's new Homelessness Strategy 2024–2034 aims to make homelessness in NSW rare, brief and not repeated because people have a safe home and the support to keep it. This means shifting the NSW homelessness service system from:
- predominantly crisis responses to prevention
- service or program led responses to person-centred responses
- district led commissioning to localised planning design and delivery.
A Housing First approach will be a central pillar of the reformed service system for NSW.
The purpose of this exploratory paper is to support the development of a Housing First approach for NSW and was created as part of the consultation process for the strategy.
