National homelessness agreement on track | The Hon Kevin Andrews MP

Minister for Social Services Kevin Andrews has announced that only South Australia and Tasmania are yet to sign the 2014-15 National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness (NPAH) that provides up to $115 million in Federal funding for homelessness initiatives. The NPAH will ensure homelessness programs can continue for at least another year including many focused on women and children experiencing domestic and family violence, he said. This one-year extension of the NPAH will enable the Government to re-assess Commonwealth housing and homelessness policy with the object of doing things more efficiently.
