Housing First: options and considerations for NSW

Date Published: 05 Mar 2024

Authors: Nicola Brackertz Renee Lane Tom Alves

For NSW Department of Communities and Justice

The NSW Government's new Homelessness Strategy 2024–2034 aims to make homelessness in NSW rare, brief and not repeated because people have a safe home and the support to keep it. This means shifting the NSW homelessness service system from:

  • predominantly crisis responses to prevention
  • service or program led responses to person-centred responses
  • district led commissioning to localised planning design and delivery.

A Housing First approach will be a central pillar of the reformed service system for NSW.

The purpose of this exploratory paper is to support the development of a Housing First approach for NSW and was created as part of the consultation process for the strategy.
