The Home Options and Pathways to Employment (HOPE)
Project
The Home Options and Pathways to
Employment (HOPE) Project, supported by funding from the Australian
Government, brings together a partnership of two peak bodies: the
National Employment Services Association (NESA) and Homelessness
Australia (HA). Through this project, resources have been
developed to assist Employment Services providers and Homelessness
Services organisations in developing collaborative working
relationships which ultimately benefit people experiencing
homelessness. Whilst the resources for employment services
providers were initially targeted for Job Services Australia, much
of the information is also transferrable to employment services
more broadly.
The HOPE Project
Resource Kit on Homelessness for Providers of Employment Services
The Resource Kit on Homelessness for
Providers of Employment Services is designed to raise awareness and
to increase the knowledge of employment service providers about
homelessness, its causes, impacts and the range of assistance
available to assist people who are homeless or at risk of
homelessness.
The HOPE Project
Resource Kit on Employment Services of Homelessness Services
Providers
The Resource Kit on Employment
Services for Providers of Homelessness Services is designed to
raise awareness and to increase knowledge of the services provided
to job seekers through JSA providers for employees of Homelessness
Services providing services to people experiencing
homelessness. This Kit provides an overview of employment
services in Australia, provides information on how job seekers are
assessed and referred to services, and the various service options
available and details of job seeker rights and
responsibilities.
Both kits contain a
section on the importance of developing effective collaborative
partnerships and provides some examples of collaborative
relationships which have been established between employment
services and homelessness service providers. The Resource
Kits have also been designed for use as a training
package.
