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
Coastal Sydney	Illawarra	South East
Greater Western Sydney	New England/North West	Western NSW

Housing NSW is seeking feedback from key stakeholders in the early stages of development of the Plans via online submission.
