Summary

The JGOS is intended to assist some of the most vulnerable people in our community: people with mental health problems needing assistance to access and sustain social housing. Mental illness has long been recognised as one of the major pathways into homelessness. Both the Federal and NSW governments have recently renewed their commitment to address homelessness, which has far-reaching negative consequences both for the individuals who experience it and for society at large.
