Improving Homeless Support and Youth Services

The Social Services' annual report for 2025 indicates that individuals experiencing long-term homelessness and receiving financial assistance are receiving insufficient support due to a lack of collaboration between various stakeholders, particularly healthcare services. The report concludes that these individuals require more coordinated and individually tailored interventions with a holistic approach. The year also focused on strengthening children's participation in social services' work, and for 2026, a review is planned on how young people receive aftercare following placement.
