Our Strategy

The Western Australian Alliance Strategy to End Homelessness seeks to prevent, reduce and resolve all homelessness in WA.

Our aim

The Western Australian Alliance Strategy to End Homelessness seeks to prevent, reduce and resolve all homelessness in WA. We know that we will have achieved this when homelessness is rare, brief and once-off.

To achieve this aim, we need to learn and design solutions around our five primary drivers and be informed by our values, principles and mindsets.

Our role is to promote a network of solutions towards ending homelessness by acting as a backbone to ensure all activities are aligned and in support of our aim.

Our Strategy

Our Strategy

In 2018, the WAAEH led the nation as the first state to have developed and launched a whole-of-community strategy towards ending homelessness.

In 2023, we updated the WAAEH Strategy for achieving an end to homelessness in Western Australia, in an effort to ensure the Strategy continues to evolve alongside the complex and changing nature of homelessness.

Ending homelessness is possible, and our updated strategy provides a clearer picture of the work that needs to occur going forward to make this happen. It also details what can be done across local government, organisations and business to align our efforts towards ending homelessness.

The updated strategy is in the final stages of construction and will be launched shortly.
