Homelessness
Everyone has a role to play in ending homelessness and we all can contribute, to helping achieve permanent, affordable housing and the support that people need to create and keep a home.
At the 13 March 2018 Ordinary Council Meeting, Council supported a Mayoral Minute to 'Pledge to end homelessness in our region'.
Maitland City Council pledges to do our part to end homelessness. We will build on our current actions to address homelessness, and support and promote the efforts of our community to end homelessness. We will advocate for change and enlist the support of our colleagues, businesses, local agencies and the community to join this important effort, and let local leaders know that Council supports The Newcastle and Hunter Ending Homelessness Pledge. Read the Mayoral Minute.
