50 Lives 50 Homes

UWA third evaluation report – May 2022

This is the final evaluation reports from the independent evaluation of ’50 Lives 50 Homes’ by the University of Western Australia. The evaluation of 50 Lives spans the period late 2016 to early 2022, which makes it one of the longest longitudinal evaluations of a Housing First initiative to date in the world. While the program itself has now transitioned into the Zero project, the evaluation findings, key learnings, articulation of challenges and recommendations remain highly salient, as WA seeks to embed Housing First as a core platform for addressing homelessness in this State.
