Prime Minister Kevin Rudd launched the Federal Government’s national homelessness Green Paper on 22 May 2008. The paper, Which Way Home? takes forward the consultations on the future of housing and homelessness from the Australia 2020 Summit last month.
Which Way Home? highlights the challenges faced by people who are homeless, putting forward concrete options for reform of the Government’s response to the issue. The Green Paper acknowledges that while improved housing outcomes must underpin our response to homelessness, housing alone is not sufficient to the achievement of long term improvements. It also advocates a greater focus on prevention and early intervention.
Starting next week, the Government will hold consultations across the country which will feed into the subsequent homelessness White Paper, to be released in September 2008.
