Homelessness is more than ‘sleeping rough’

    • But there are other forms of homelessness that are more hidden.
    • Some vocal advocates seek to model the Australian homelessness response on that of the United States.
    • Fortunately, in Australia, homelessness has been understood and defined more broadly as not having a secure and safe home.

      6 steps towards remaking the homelessness system so it works for young people

We have examples of intervention that works

    • Examples include the COSS Model, Kids Under Cover, Ruby’s Reunification and Home Stretch programs.
    • If implemented adequately, programs like these would greatly reduce the flow of young people into homelessness.
    • The social housing business model is not set up to provide supported housing for adolescents and young adults.
    • One notable innovation is the world’s first model of social housing for youth developed by My Foundations Youth Housing.

Get the plan right and it can be a game-changer

    • This funding would go into expanding social housing for young people.
    • A key structural reform would be to reorganise support services for at-risk and homeless young Australians on a community-by-community basis.
    • What’s needed is a rigorous approach to needs-based funding for both early intervention and post-homelessness support and supported housing.
    • Will the National Housing and Homelessness Plan be a game-changer for vulnerable young Australians?
