Homelessness | Public Institutions

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

Homelessness is a complex issue with no simple solution. The homelessness unit works seven days a week to lessen the effect of homelessness in Sydney.
Sydney is investing $6.6 million over three years to run its homelessness unit, which has been in operation since 1984.
