The primary purpose of Community Connection Program (CCP) is to improve the health and well being of people with complex needs who are homeless or at housing risk by proactively identifying, engaging and linking them to appropriate mainstream and/or specialist services. The CCP will target people who require an assertive outreach response in order to gain access to specialist and mainstream services.

On a strategic level the CCP will also work with local services to assist them to become more accessible and responsive to the needs of this vulnerable population group.

A key feature of the program is the provision of flexible brokerage funds which will be used by the CCP outreach workers in the event mainstream/specialist service providers are unable to adequately meet client need.
