STEPS IN SUPPORTED ACCOMMODATION

Supported accommodation is designed to provide a range of support and accommodation services to people at risk of homelessness or in crisis. This can include young people, single men, single women, families including sole parents with accompanying children, and women and/or children escaping domestic violence. The ACT Government provides funding for many individual services under the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program (SAAP).

ACTION PLAN GOAL

Maintain and enhance the role of supported accommodation providers to ensure that all Canberrans at risk of homelessness, on low incomes, with special needs or requiring emergency accommodation can be appropriately accommodated with no or minimal delay, and if appropriate, assisted to move to longer term accommodation.
