Adelaide Zero Project Implementation Plan launch in February
ZEROHOMELESSNESSGOAL SET
I n February, AnglicareSA was pleased to participate in the launch of the Zero Project’s Implementation Plan 2018 - 2020. It was fantastic to have representatives from all political parties come together and commit to ending homelessness in the Adelaide city. The Zero Project aims to bring together government and non-government agencies to end functional street homelessness by the end of 2020. The program utilises a Housing First approach, prioritising those experiencing homelessness into secure housing with further supports, coupled with a focus on inclusivity and collective action.
The Project’s No Wrong Door principle means that organisations will partner together to provide support no matter which agency a person presents at. Ending homelessness is not the responsibility of any single organisation or government body. Through working in partnership with other agencies and the broader community, we are able to identify those experiencing homelessness by name and understand the support they need. The program has previously been trialled overseas and has proven an effective tool in ending functional street homelessness. We look forward to replicating those results in South Australia.
20 YEARSOF PETER BURKE
S taff at our Hindmarsh office came together in January to celebrate Peter Burke’s 20 years with AnglicareSA. Peter started with AnglicareSA at the Magdalene Centre at the beginning of 1998. In 2005, he moved into the role of Coordinator of Chaplaincy and eventually the Director of Mission and Anglican Community Engagement, the role he holds today. A much-valued member of the team, Peter’s approach to his work is a credit to him and our organisation. His leadership has seen an increase in parish engagement and relationship with the Diocese. Let's hope he sticks around for 20 more!
