A public consultation's been launched today.
The public is getting a chance to share their views on the government's new 'Child and Family Homelessness Action Plan'.
A public consultation's been launched today to hear from members of the public, and those engaged in housing services, charities, NGO's and housing bodies.
111 children in the Midlands were recorded as homeless in the housing department's latest report.
Housing Minister James Brown says child homelessness is not acceptable at any level and he wants to make sure we're doing what's needed.
He says homelessness is the single most pressing social issue we face, and the new Action Plan will benefit from input from the public and those operating at the coal-face.
Minister Brown says it's critical work and he won't allow this to be a plan that sits on paper.
Interested parties are asked to make submissions by the close of business, Friday February 6th - with full details available on the Department's website.
