The purpose of the Singleton Homelessness Policy is to define the role and commitment of Singleton Council in mitigating the impacts of homelessness within the community. It aims to provide a structured framework that empowers Council and its staff to effectively support individuals experiencing homelessness and respond to community concerns related to homelessness.
This policy emphasises a collaborative approach, engaging various stakeholders, including government entities, service providers, and community organisations, to create a unified response to homelessness. Additionally, this policy ensures that people facing homelessness are treated with dignity and respect, safeguarding them from discrimination based on their housing status.
Through this comprehensive approach, the policy seeks to foster an inclusive environment that promotes support, understanding, and effective action ton address homelessness in our community.
