Ending homelessness in Western Australia
The Western Australian Alliance to End Homelessness (WAAEH) is comprised of a group of individuals and organisations that have come together to end homelessness in Western Australia. In 2018, the WAAEH launched its 10-year Strategy to End Homelessness 2018-2028. The WAAEH was originally funded by Lotterywest to further develop and implement the WAAEH strategy and as part of this funding the CSI UWA (one of the founding organisations of the WAAEH) developed the WAAEH Evaluation Framework and has annually released the WAAEH Dashboard and Ending Homelessness in Western Australia Report.
WAAEH 2021 publications
> On 3 August 2021 the Ending Homelessness in Western Australia: 2021 Report and Summary Report was released
> On 7 July 2021 an updated Outcomes Measurement Framework: Dashboard V3 was released
The Dashboard is an evolving, accessible and visual platform designed to present and report on outcomes relevant to the key targets of the WAAEH. In 2022, the Dashboard has moved across to the interactive mode on the present site.
All paths lead to a home: Western Australia’s 10-year strategy and action plan 2020-2025
Western Australia State Government’s 10-Year Strategy on Homelessness has a vision that everyone has a safe place to call home and is supported to achieve stable and independent lives.
Released in July 2020, the first Action Plan of the 10-Year Strategy on Homelessness focuses on ending rough sleeping, building a No Wrong Door approach to service delivery, increasing low-barrier crisis responses, and supporting innovation. In 2020, the Western Australian Government provided $71.8 million funding boost for homelessness services and $34.5 million for the Housing First Homelessness Initiative (HFHI).
A summary of the actions, planned and already ongoing activities, and Western Australian and service level initiatives for each of the four outcome areas identified in the Action Plan is detailed in the table below. The Western Australian Government’s Strategy and initiatives together with reforms in areas such social housing supply, FDV, out of home care and youth justice, support the agenda to end homelessness in Western Australia.
System and service level initiatives featured below do not in any way represent a comprehensive list of all of the initiatives in place in Western Australia, but provide insights into the breadth of initiatives operating and some of the different ways in which the homelessness service system is working to end homelessness.
