Together Home
Together Home is a part of the NSW government's Housing First initiative, where immediate secure accommodation is seen as the key to allowing individuals the freedom to pursue individualised and self-determined pathways, to sustainably transition out of homelessness.
Instigated in 2020, this collaboration secured $36.1m in funding to enable Community Housing Providers to support each client of this program with two years of subsidised private rental market housing, and wraparound service support.

Together Home is a collaboration between the NSW Government, the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ), Specialist Homelessness Services (SHS), and Community Housing Providers (CHPs).

Wraparound support is achieved through the co-ordination of all levels of support, service-based and otherwise.

We have four case managers who work from a trauma-informed, strengths-based model of care, and all support is directed by the outcome goals of the clients. Our aim is to help bolster strengths in :
