I have finally found the time to start creating the Homelessness NSW blog spot. Miracles will never cease! Please hang in with me over the first few days - blogging is very new to me.
We are traveling around the state at the moment with collegues from Yfoundations, the NSW Women's Refuge Movement, Community Services and Housing NSW to meet with services and explore what the homelessness policy directions contained within the NSW Homelessness Action Plan mean for them and their services. It is great to hear from people out there in the field - to hear key issues, challenges and opportunities directly from their mouths.
Not surprisingly, a major challenge is the significant lack of affordable and social housing across NSW. It is hard to know how we are going to end homelessness without a supply of housing. Something that our federal and state governments are going to have to give serious thought to.
