Community Services and Development

The following community service approaches may be considered:

• coordinating or contributing to an emergency referral network for homeless persons (if identified as a high-needs group);
• providing support through council’s community services to enable people to continue living in their existing premises, by planning the delivery of existing services (such as home nursing, community transport and emergency assistance) in the context of the housing strategy and ensuring effective targeting of assistance;
• providing special support services for residents of residential parks;
• coordinating services for low income or disadvantaged social and private housing tenants;
• providing grants or rate relief to ensure the financial viability of low-cost accommodation.
