About the network
In March 2017, Compass Housing Services hosted a public event in Newcastle, Ending Homelessness: The Big Ideas, where a group of speakers presented to the community on existing concepts to end homelessness in our region. The Network was formed to continue the momentum and identify the most appropriate solution for our region.

Projects and topics have included mental health services, mapping of homelessness services in the region, the role of the business community and longer-term housing solutions
