With our traditional base in the inner city of Sydney, we have led the development and implementation of a number of innovative homelessness programs, and extended these partnerships across our portfolio.
We use a Housing First approach when working with rough sleepers, which is widely regarded as best practice both in Australia and internationally. This involves providing secure long term housing plus intensive wrap around support to ensure the tenancy can be sustained long term.
Projects include:
- Together Home: a partnership with Mission Australia, St Vincent de Paul and the Salvation Army with NSW Government funding to house 45 rough sleepers in the private rental market during COVID-19.
- Step to Home: we partner with Neami National, Metro Community Housing and Women’s Housing Company to house rough sleepers using a Housing First approach.
- Partnerships with specialist homelessness services: we provide tenancy and property management and our partner organisations including Options Youth, Youth Off The Streets and St Vincent de Paul provide intensive wrap around supports for people
- Connect 100: we are a key partner in a Department of Communities and Justice program that provides a rapid housing response for people experiencing homelessness who have drifted into the inner city
- Platform 70: we led Sydney’s original Housing First pilot program in partnership with Neami National, who delivered intensive psycho-social support services. We exceeded targets and were able to house 107 people, with over 70% of participants sustaining their tenancy once the program finished.
