Homelessness

Hornsby Shire Council works with the community to address concerns about homelessness in Hornsby Shire. We encourage the community to contact us about homelessness and take the time to respond to each case with compassion. We refer all concerns and cases to services provided by Council or local service providers. Council is extremely grateful to these local services for their diligence and care and hope to continue to work in collaboration with them.
