Alisha’s contribution
Alisha’s 2022 professional records describe developing engagement activities to inform a Rough Sleeping Policy and Guidance Document. Her work included extensive engagement, partnerships with local homelessness service providers and introducing new ways of working together.
Policy in an organisational setting
The work connected community and service knowledge with Council responsibilities, health and wellbeing planning and practical guidance. It forms an earlier part of her housing and homelessness policy experience.
Related strategy and implementation
Her later Merri-bek work included contributing to the Homelessness Strategy and Action Plan, Functional Zero, assertive outreach, partnership governance and reporting. The related housing and homelessness case study sets out that subsequent contribution.
