Tender Details
Tender Description
The Department of Family and Community Services (FACS) is introducing programs as part of the Future Directions for Social Housing in NSW strategy, which is the NSW Government’s vision for social housing over the next 10 years.
The Opportunity Pathways Program is designed for clients living in social housing, receiving FACS rental assistance, being assisted by Specialist Homelessness Services, or on the NSW Housing Register. The program is voluntary and uses a person-centred case management approach to facilitate participants’ access to services to achieve economic and housing independence (where appropriate).
Participants will be assessed and then assisted with the following:
* Pre-employment Preparation - Assisting clients with significant barriers to employment through individualised support and referral to specialist services or literacy, numeracy or language training.
* Employment Support - Providing client-centred, tailored assistance to support participants build capacity and resilience and achieve agreed employment goals. Includes practical assistance, skills development, links to training and local employment opportunities, supported vocational training, and support sustaining employment.
* Housing Independence Outcome - Involves a voluntary agreement between a participant, a housing provider and a support provider to assist participants work towards exiting social housing assistance. Participants receive tailored services and supports to overcome barriers to independence, increase work readiness, engage in education and employment and move to housing independence.
