BROKERAGE PROGRAM


OVERVIEW
The Launchpad brokerage program is vital to the organisation’s work, providing financial support to achieve housing outcomes and other case management goals. In 2015, the City of Sydney committed to providing Launchpad with $200,000 per year to extend the brokerage program. As a result, Launchpad has been able to establish working arrangements with other non-Specialist Homelessness Services in the City of Sydney area to ensure wrap-around support for clients. In return, these partner agencies are able to access brokerage funds for their clients.
