Housing Minister Richard Wynne told the homelessness sector the program would be extended for a further year after the government found money in the budget. springst
The Andrews government has found money in the budget to fund the From Homelessness to a Home program for a further 12 months.
The program has “supported more than 1750 households to move into new homes with individual, tailored support”, a Victorian government spokeswoman said in a statement. “We have identified additional funding to ensure that the program can continue support and head-leases, where required, for existing participants in 2022-23. Additional funding will ensure that people in head-leased properties can remain until suitable long-term housing is secured.
“If we could grow the program, we would stop that churn from emergency departments, prisons, psych beds, general beds.
