Policy Making Case Study Student’s Name University Affiliation Policy Making Case Study 1) Policy Substance and Background How has this Policy Issue been dealt with previously? In the five years leading to 2017 the number of rough sleepers in Melbourne has increased by 72% (Bacchi 2015). The increasing number of homeless people is a problem not just in Victoria but also throughout Australia. Victoria has in the past offered specialist homelessness services but the number of homeless people seeking these services has increased by 100 000 annually. Some of the issues that have led to the increase in rough sleepers in Victoria include rising housing costs lack of affordable housing family violence and inadequate income support (Foley 2017). Moreover the service providers trying to address rough sleeping cannot often intervene earlier to end the problem of chronic homelessness. Bacchi (2015)argues that on any one night there are at least (Albert et al. 2016). Each recommendation has at least one rationale and proposed initiative that justifies that the proposals are sound.The policy plan also includes a summary of initiatives that includes among other things the expansion of specific outreach services establishing outreach teams in regional rural and suburban areas and working with affiliates in matters to do with client referrals to specialized homeless services.
