Homelessness Projects
The City's Homelessness Unit undertakes a range of projects and research. Some current projects include:
- Development of a training program for volunteers in homelessness services.
- Convening the CBD Homelessness Co-ordination Group.
- Working with mobile food services to improve co-ordination and assistance to people experiencing homelessness.
- Research into costs associated with chronic homelessness.
- Improving responses to long term homeless people who are ‘vulnerable and complex’. A forum was hosted by the City in partnership with other key agencies on 16 June 2006. A number of actions identified at that forum are being followed up.
