Working towards an older persons homelessness prevention strategy for the Victorian Homelessness Action Plan Reform

Successfully evaluated after Stage 1 of the Victorian Government's Innovations Action Project, 'Home at Last' has continued to expand its service into Stage 2. The organisation looks forward to the opportunity to incorporate the successful 'Home at Last' model within the development of a new sector-wide structure of homelessness services as part of the Victorian Homelessness Action Plan Reform Strategy. The considerable challenges that lie ahead can be transformed into great opportunities to restructure the homelessness sector to better meet the community need. More broadly, there is great potential for further enhancement of housing support within other current government reviews such as the Commonwealth Aged Care Reform, that also provides significant possibilities for older persons housing service integration at the Victorian level.
