Responses to homelessness often depend on the coordination of services in the Government, non-government and, at times, private sectors. Coordination is a challenge where services have different values, priorities, and models for responding to the range of homeless people and their issues. 

Practical approaches to coordination are continually being developed and evaluated. Below are articles and reports that discuss the challenges to partnering and coordination and some examples of working partnerships in addressing homelessness.

See also  Coordination across Government and non-government services. Two discussion papers for two powerpoint presentations looking specifically at issues of partnerships in addressing domestic and family violence.
