Where homelessness cannot be prevented, work with people and partner agencies to achieve a positive housing outcome and provide education and training to build a person’s capacity in identified areas to promote tenancy sustainment and prevent repeat homelessness from occurring.
- Support people to maximise resources when furnishing their home to assist them to create a homely environment.
- Improve access to, and sustainment of tenancy levels within the private rented sector.
