For more information, view the About NWHN and North and West Homelessness Services page of this site. As well as offering general information on homelessness assistance, this website facilitates communication between NWHN members, providing them with a range of relevant news and resources.
Homelessness Assistance Funded Services The North & West Metropolitan homelessness service system (HSS) is made up of over 200 programs that are funded to provide assistance to people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness. Five of these services are funded through the Transitional Housing Management (THM). The remaining programs are funded as Specialist Homelessness Services to assist people to prevent or end the experience of homelessness.
