A positive start … but still more work to do.

This submission responds to the NSW Government’s Homelessness Strategic Framework Draft Consultation Paper. It comments on a number of the Government’s proposed strategic directions for the framework including Prevention and Early Intervention and Longer Term Accommodation and Community Support. It also urges the Government to consider the role of the NGO sector in developing and evaluating action items under the framework, provide new funding to the homelessness sector, and to ensure that homeless people are able to participate fully in shaping the decision-making processes that affect them
