Homelessness NSW welcomes the opportunity to comment on the New South Wales Department of Family and Community Services (FACS NSW) discussion paper, Foundations for change- Homelessness in NSW.  Homelessness can be prevented and addressed in New South Wales but it requires resources and commitment from across the service system.  Outlined in this submission is a detailed analysis of current issues relating to NSW policy and practice regarding homelessness and 38 recommendations that, if implemented, will make a real difference to preventing and addressing homelessness in New South Wales.
