Homelessness

Expression of Interest for Street to Home Initiatives

The Northern Territory Government is seeking expressions of interest from community service organisations to deliver initiatives to support homeless people into safe and appropriate accommodation in Darwin, Katherine, Tennant Creek and/or Alice Springs.

Funding has been made available under the Homelessness National Partnership Agreement between the Australian and Northern Territory Governments, for programs/ initiatives that achieve or contribute to the following outcomes:

• reduce rough sleeping by supporting homeless people into accommodation appropriate for their needs,
• target people who experience repeat homelessness with an aim of breaking this cycle through the provision of intensive client-focussed support packages based on individual client needs,
• improve client connections to their family and community, and maintain or improve their education, training or employment participation.

For further information or a copy of the application guidelines and template, contact Ilse Kaiplinger on (08) 8999 8458.

Applications close 4pm Friday 23 October 2009 and should be submitted electronically to: ilse.kaiplinger@nt.gov.au

The Northern Territory's Homelessness Implementation Plan is now available.
