The SA Housing Trust has established five Alliances, to service the complex and evolving needs of clients experiencing or at risk of homelessness across South Australia. This comprises four regional homelessness alliances, and one state-wide domestic and family violence alliance, and commenced operations 1 July 2021.
The Alliance approach involves multiple non-government partners coming together to develop integrated service networks with supporting behaviours and practices. It will see the transformation of a fragmented system with a large number of program-based contracts, to 5 alliance-based contracts comprised of providers working together in a formal and structured way, both at a system and geographical level.
Alliance participants, including the SA Housing Trust, are expected to exhibit the relevant alliance behaviours, including shared accountability for outcomes and working together through the governance structure to make decisions unanimously and collaborate on the basis of what is best-for client outcomes rather than in the interests of their respective organisations.
