为长期无家可归的人提供安全、可持续的住房选择,对决策者和从业人员都构成了一项持久的挑战。虽然澳大利亚对无家可归的反应主要是基于危机,但长期以来一直存在关于彻底结束长期无家可归的最佳方法的争论。这些辩论的中心是所需住房的性质、人们为永久摆脱无家可归所需要的支助服务的形式以及在提供住房之前或之后提供支助的程度。一种主导当代澳大利亚无家可归政策话语和服务实践的方法是住房优先。住房第一的方法已经被全国的无家可归者从业者所倡导,许多新的项目被确定为住房第一(Naidoo 2008;昆士兰州政府2008;新南威尔士州政府2009;家园服务2010;澳大利亚首都地区政府2011)。1992年,Sam Tsemberis作为纽约市住房之路组织的一个组成部分开发了住房优先方法,其目的是为长期无家可归的人提供快速获得永久性住房的机会(Tsemberis等人,2004年,第651页)。“住房优先”方法的哲学基础基于两个关键假设:1。住房是一项人权。2. 提供住房不以行为改变或遵守标准租赁义务为条件。(Stefanic & Tsemberis 2007)
Providing secure, sustainable housing options for people experiencing chronic homelessness has posed an enduring challenge for policy-makers and practitioners alike. While Australian homelessness responses are largely crisis based, there are long standing debates about the best means of ending long-term homelessness altogether. These debates centre on the nature of the housing required, the form of support services that people need to exit homelessness permanently and the extent to which support should precede or follow the provision of housing. An approach that is dominating contemporary Australian homelessness policy discourse and service practice is Housing First. A Housing First approach has been advocated for by homelessness practitioners nationally, and many new programs identify as Housing First (Naidoo 2008; Queensland Government 2008; New South Wales Government 2009; HomeGround Services 2010; Australian Capital Territory Government 2011). Developed in 1992 by Sam Tsemberis as a component of the New York City Pathways to Housing organisation, the aim of a Housing First approach is to provide rapid access to permanent, supported housing for chronically homeless people (Tsemberis et al. 2004, p.651). The philosophical underpinnings of a Housing First approach are premised on two key assumptions: 1. Housing is a human right. 2. The provision of housing is not contingent upon behavioural changes or anything other than abiding by standard tenancy obligations. (Stefanic & Tsemberis 2007)
