The State Homelessness Strategy is founded on a commitment to end homelessness in WA. To achieve this a staged, place-based approach to ending rough sleeping and chronic homelessness is needed. To is achieve functional zero so there is enough capacity in the system to end homelessness, a proven methodology needs to be used. Key steps in this methodology within any place-based approach includes in the first instance a Connections Week, Establishment of a By-Name List, Co-ordinated engagement and Assertive Outreach and collaboration to allocation resources.
