AHURI report - Effectiveness of the homelessness services system

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 presents a number of findings including that demand for specialist homelessness services in Australia is much higher than the capacity of the system to deliver. 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.
