The AHURI report, ‘Effectiveness of the homelessness services system’ written for the Housing Ministers meeting in November has been released and is available for download.

The report also recognises a strong need for a whole-of-government approach to collecting and managing data from specialist homelessness services as well as in the evaluation of services.
The Gatwick Hotel has been for sale for a number of years. On 6 March, the current owners of the Gatwick Hotel announced their decision to close the Hotel. All current residents were advised of this by letter on 8 March 2017.
