Western Australian Alliance to End Homelessness Dashboard

Reducing regional homelessness

The proportion of SHS clients that live in regional Western Australia has slightly decreased in 2021/22 (51.0%) compared to 2020/21 (53.2%). The 2028 target for Figure 5.6 is to eliminate this over-representation, such that the rate of regional homelessness is the same as the rate of people living in regional WA (20.6%).
In the 2021 Census nine out of ten of the highest homelessness rate Local Government Areas (LGA) were in non-metropolitan Perth, while 8 out of 10 of the highest rough sleeping rate LGAs were in non-metropolitan Perth.
