SAAP Services Forum - Brisbane

A SAAP Services forum will be held on Tuesday May 18 at the Merthyr Uniting Church, 52 Merthyr Rd, New Farm (on-street parking is available). The May forum is the forth in an ongoing series of forums held as part of the Queensland SAAP Networking Strategy. The forums broadly aim to provide an ongoing communication and engagement mechanism for SAAP services in the Brisbane region around the new homelessness agenda. The previous forum was held  in December. In addition to providing an update around developments in homelessness the forum focused on how the Homelessness Coordination Initiative under the Homelessness National Partnership agreement Implementation Plan might look in Brisbane, as well as exploring the concept of a vacancy management system & common assessment & referral process. A summary of discussion from the December forum is attached. 

Forum aims:
·         To provide an overview of developments around homelessness both in the region and at the state & federal levels.
·         To discuss as a region what the role of SAAP services might be in the new homelessness agenda.  
·         To discuss what the implications might be for your organisation & how organisations can best prepare for the changes ahead.
·         To progress work around exploring a vacancy management system & common assessment & referral process, following on from previous forums.
·         To share innovative & best practice in service delivery*. 

Please note – participants have previously expressed an interest in sharing innovative practice at these forums. If you have a program or project that you would like to share information about at the forum, please let me know.
