Homelessness

Homelessness

Addressing homelessness requires compassion, understanding, and collective action. At Central Coast Council, we’re committed to supporting individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness by connecting people with essential services within our community.

As part of this commitment, we created a Homelessness Strategy, which helps outlines how Central Coast Council will achieve its vision of “Everybody in Central Coast, every day, can access a safe, comfortable sleep, a hot shower, and a nutritious meal.”
