Some of the projects that will be undertaken as part of our shared strategy
We will put the people who use our services at the centre of the organisation
We will develop and implement the policies and supporting infrastructure to enable the people who use our services to become partners in the assessment, quality and development of all our projects and services. We will devise practical processes that give the people who use our services a meaningful input into everything we do.
We will demonstrate the outcomes of our work
To ensure that we are delivering on our values we will enhance the measurement and demonstrate the outcomes of our work. We will develop an outcome management tool for all of our services and also for our governance, fundraising, campaigning and management controls. We will introduce external auditing of all our services.
We will play our part in reducing the numbers of people becoming homeless
We will undertake a major research project examining people’s pathways into homelessness and identify what are the most successful interventions in preventing homelessness and assisting people to settle in a new home. We will use this information to improve our services, pilot new services and lobby for changes in policy to prevent homelessness.
We will build support for solutions to end homelessness
We will lobby for adequate public funds, increased supply and access to appropriate housing. We will seek policy and legislative solutions that will deliver on the right to housing and support needs of people who are homeless. We will build public and political support for our proposals and actively campaign with organisations that share our vision in order to achieve this goal.
We will deliver housing solutions throughout the state
Throughout the state needs assessments for housing will be undertaken and strategies to meet local need will be developed. Our national housing association and local developments will create new housing options. Our priority will be to deliver permanent housing solutions tailored to each individual, incorporating support as appropriate.
