Neighbourhoods Program

The Neighbourhoods Program is funded by the City of Port Phillip under a 3 year Service Agreement. 

The program aims:

  • Facilitate the community of people in tenuous or temporary housing situations to develop strategies to increase control over their lives.
  • To increase access to social and economic capital and promote opportunities for social inclusion
  • To respond creatively to emerging needs of the client group
  • To respond to de-institutionalisation and growing individualism in the community by fostering a culture of acceptance, valuing diversity

Program Objectives

  • To encourage and work towards the client group increasing control over and improving physical and mental health, social well-being, housing security and access to community and economic resources.
  • Foster place based community cohesion for the target population within residential and local community settings.
  • To improve access to community resources, income support and employment opportunities  for the target population.
  • To promote and coordinate  stakeholders in the community and rooming house sectors to work collaboratively  towards providing secure housing, information sharing, social inclusion and service access
  • To work towards building a community in Port Phillip that values and includes all residents regardless of their level of wealth,  ability or  cultural heritage.

 

ConnectED

ConnectED is a harp funded project which aims to reduce avoidable Emergency Department admissions for people with complex needs. This is achieved by intensive, integrated case management, and by providing settings based community development in places where vulnerable people reside. PPCG is currently working in two local rooming houses, and creating community connections for enrolled ConnectED  clients.
