Homelessness NSW demands $158m from state government to end homelessness crisis

NSW’s peak body combating homelessness has called on the state government to invest $158m over the next three years, with demand on emergency and temporary housing reaching unseen levels.

In their pre NSW budget submission, Homelessness NSW called on the state government to spend $30m over three years to ensure adequate access to temporary accommodation, plus an additional $128m, or $64m per year over two years to ensure specialist homelessness service programs.
