A key component of the NSW Homelessness Action Plan is the development of Regional Homelessness Action Plans (Plans).

The Plans will be developed during 2009/2010 with implementation to commence 1 July 2010. The Plans will implement the strategic directions of the NSW Homelessness Action Plan at a regional level.

Regional Homelessness Action Plans 2010-2014 - Framework

The development of Homelessness Regional Action Plan will;

  • include a detailed profile of homelessness in each area and the service system
  • identify priority locations within each Plan
  • enable services, community organisations, people who have experienced homelessness and the broader community to provide input into the implementation of the NSW Homelessness Action Plan at a regional and local level
  • be integral to the development of the National Partnership on Homelessness NSW Implementation Plan for 2010 – 2013.

 There will be nine Plans across NSW based on the Regional Management Cluster (RMC) boundaries:

Central Coast Hunter North Coast
