New ways to tackle homelessness |
| 04 March 2011 |
 SA Government Media Release, 3 March 2011 Six organisations will share $100,000 in State and Commonwealth Government grants this year to find new ways to tackle homelessness. The Minister for Housing, Jennifer Rankine said the organisations had been awarded grants from the Homelessness Innovation Fund through the Commonwealth and South Australian Governments’ National Affordable Housing Agreement to reduce homelessness. “The aim of these grants is to provide one-off funding to develop and promote improvement that assists people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless,” she said. “The successful organisations are encouraged to invest in innovative social programs that can be used right across the State. “Social innovation refers to new strategies, projects, programs, concepts, ideas or organisations that meet socially recognised needs, strengthen society and provide community benefit.” Among the successful organisations was Mission Australia, which, together with partners Ladder Incorporated, and Uniting Care Wesley Port Adelaide (Western Youth Service & Western Generic Homelessness Service), received $24,970 to develop a partnership group to help bring services more closely together. It will have a focus on employment outcomes for young people experiencing homelessness and drug and alcohol issues. The group will work with about 50 young people in the western suburbs of Adelaide.
