What We Care About in Budget 2026

• Value for Money: NGO-led homeless services offer expertise, trust, and efficiency. But without full cost recovery, the sector cannot keep delivering.

• Smart Investment: Funding must go toward prevention, housing-led solutions, and wraparound supports—not just crisis responses.

• Systemic Impact: Budget 2026 must deliver across health, social protection, and housing—ensuring joined-up action to prevent people falling through the cracks.
