Many NSW services are good potential intervention points for homelessness prevention and early intervention. Two-way pathway analysis examines other government services used in the year before accessing homelessness services to identify the risk uplift, coverage, and potential cost savings for different intervention points.
These measures in combination can indicate government services with the greatest potential for introducing interventions aimed at preventing homelessness.
Several NSW Government services provide a good balance of all 3 measures:
| Walk-in mental health services | Court appearances | Legal Aid |
|---|---|---|
13x more likely to access homelessness services 16% of future homelessness services clients $58k potential savings per person across NSW Government services from a successful intervention | 15x more likely to access homelessness services 16% of future homelessness services clients $70k potential savings per person across NSW Government services from a successful intervention | 17x more likely to access homelessness services 16% of future homelessness services clients $55k potential savings per person across NSW Government services from a successful intervention |
