The Northern Territory Homelessness Strategy aims to strengthen the homelessness system to deliver improved outcomes for Territorians who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

In applying for funding applicants acknowledge their mutual interest in preventing homelessness with particular regard to people experiencing disproportionate housing inequality and disadvantage.

 This program has three key priority areas:

• Intervene early to prevent homelessness
• Deliver culturally safe services that focus on people experiencing homelessness
• Building an effective homelessness system.
