$284m to tackle homelessness

The New South Wales Government has introduced a $284 million action plan. This unique plan aims to reduce the homelessness at a regional level right across the state. Under this initiative, $ 40 million has been directly allocated to make sure 20 important projects are carried out to tackle the problem. Besides that, regional communities are asked what kind of initiatives and services are relevant to meet the local homeless people’s needs. This is an important approach as the regional communities know what is needed in their local area clearer. Lastly, the Housing Minister Tanya Plibersek said the initiative will help to achieve the objective of reducing overall homelessness by half by 2020.
