The Newtown Neighbourhood Centre’s staff has been working with boarding house residents, owners and caretakers for many years. The Boarding House Outreach Service (BHOS) team is funded under the NSW Government’s Specialist Homelessness Services (SHS) program to work with residents of general boarding houses in the Inner West area.
The BHOS team had the idea of organising and holding an awards process to celebrate good practice in boarding
houses. The thinking behind the idea was to recognise those owners who were offering good boarding house accommodation, and encourage other boarding house owners to improve the standard of accommodation they provide. It was thus decided to conduct a pilot Boarding House Good Practice Awards competition during 2017.
