Review of youth SAAP in the ACT

(ACT Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services)

Ken Young and David Mackenzie

The team recently completed a $30,000 review project for the Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services in the ACT. The review was required to make recommendations on the development of youth services in the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program under the new ACT Homelessness Strategy. The report has recommended new models of supported long-term accommodation as well as systemic early intervention initiatives including a new Adolescent Community Placement program.
