REDWatch Submission on Homes NSW Discussion Paper - January 2025
This is a copy of the REDWatch submission in January 2025 in response to the Homes NSW Discussion Paper to inform the Homes for NSW Plan. With input cutting off in February for both a Homes NSW Homelessness Strategy paper and an Audit Office enquiry into Homelessness and Social Housing, this submission may assist some people interested in making submissions on this topic. It was not possible for REDWatch to hold a public meeting for this submission as a result of Homes calling for feedback in December and then requiring feedback by mid-January.

Homes for NSW discussion paper – Have your extended until 17 January 2024
Homes NSW released on 3 December 2024 its much awaited discussion paper on its future operations. Tenants and agencies now have until 17 January 2025 to comment on a range of important questions. The close off date has been extended from 20 December which was a very short period in normal circumstances, but ridiculous during the silly season. This timeframe over Christmas and new year still makes it difficult for many agencies to consult and prepare submissions on the important questions raised and an extension of the time will likely be requested.
