Introduction
Homelessness can be a very scary and dire state in which a person can be. Lack of a stable
roof and security is something that can deter the best of people (1). As a society, it is essential
to look out for such people and ensure that they are helped in the best way possible. There is
always a stage when a person is more or less aware of the fact that he or she might soon be
homeless. It is this time when the person has to act and make the best used out of the
innovation proposed in this particular assignment.
In this product innovation report, we will focus on a service which will enable these “soon-to-
be-homeless” people a chance to take care and make arrangements for themselves in advance
till they are able to make arrangements for themselves. This short term service titled “The
Six-Month Help” will be provided by the ministry of urban development, Australia, in
association with the service company Mission Australia (2). This service will focus on
helping people who are about to be homeless and not just the ones who are. Hence, this
service will leave a lot of scope for people who take quick and corrective action and are able
to anticipate their situation well.
The Six-Month Help Program
As mentioned above, usually people become aware that they are going to be homeless a little
early than it actually happens. There are various reasons why someone can be homeless:
financial crisis, domestic violence, unstable family life, disaster and much more (3). Hence,
this service program rolled out by the Ministry of Urban Development, Australia will focus
on.
The details of these service programs are as follows:
