North and West Homelessness Assistance Funded Services

Overview

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), to provide; Initial assessment & planning; Transitional Housing; Housing Establishment Funds (HEF); and Special Housing Needs Assessment.

The remaining programs are funded as Specialist Homelessness Services to provide case managed support to assist people to move from crisis to stable, long term housing. These include: women’s refuges, youth refuges, other crisis accommodation services and case managed support provided on an outreach basis.

Demand for homelessness support and transitional housing currently well exceeds the capacity of these services to respond.
