History
The Gold Coast Homelessness Network Inc (GCHN Inc), established in 1993 and incorporated in 2011, is a well-integrated, multi-agency network of services addressing issues of homelessness in the Gold Coast area.
The work of the GCHN Inc began with the Homelessness Local Area Plan, followed by the Sub-regional Service Integration Project in 2000.
These projects, funded through the Supported Accommodation Assistance Program (SAAP), were conducted by consultants, and managed by the SAAP Network as it was then known.
Over the years the GCHN Inc has continued to focus on and address the lack of emergency and short-term housing on the Gold Coast. It has proven to be an extremely effective hub for linking public and private housing and support services, raising awareness of homelessness issues, and advocating for improved support for homeless people on the Gold Coast.
