Green Paper - Which Way Home?: Outcomes of public consultations
Reducing homelessness is a national priority for the Australian Government.
In May 2008 the Government released a Green Paper, Which Way Home? A new approach to homelessness, which sought to promote public discussion on homelessness, highlight the challenges faced by people who are homeless and suggest ways forward for reducing homelessness over the long term.
Public consultations were held during May and June 2008.
Over 1200 people attended 13 public consultations across Australia and almost 600 written submissions were received. Public consultations included the views of over 300 homeless people.
This report summarises the feedback on the Green Paper from stakeholders including state and territory governments, people experiencing homelessness, service providers, peak bodies, academics and individuals.
