Assertive outreach expansion
Tender ID: 620538
Tender Details
Tender Description
Overview
The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (VIC) is inviting submissions for a funding activity to expand assertive outreach services.
Purpose
The objective of assertive outreach is to seek out people sleeping rough wherever they may be living and support a transition to appropriate housing and/or support as quickly as possible. Assertive outreach promotes and delivers service assistance to people experiencing entrenched forms of homelessness who are disengaged with the service system because of repeated system failures compounded by histories of trauma.
Objectives
A core element of assertive outreach is to use persistent and purposeful engagement rather than waiting for people sleeping rough to request a service or for a referral. Assertive outreach workers proactively engage people, building trust and relationships over time to connect them with the services they need.
Scope
The scope includes:
- Delivery of assertive outreach services to people experiencing entrenched forms of homelessness
- Provision of a support-only program, which includes flexible brokerage
