Housing Solutions to End Homelessness
A challenge we face at the moment in WA is a shortage of appropriate crisis, social and affordable housing options as well as support services, not only for the estimated 9,000 people experiencing homelessness but also for tenants that have faced or experienced homelessness as a result of the rental shortage.
The week aims to highlight the solutions that can be adopted, in both the short-term and long-term and to also to take a moment to reflect, reground and look at where to from here.
Josh Serafini will talk about his experience being homelessness and living on the streets as he leads a walking through the streets of Perth and to key services in the area that provided support to him during this period.
Josh, who is a strong advocate for ending homelessness, will provide an insight to what it is like to live on the streets, and what helped him to get off the streets, into a home and to undertake the successful work that he does today.
We hope you can join us for this unique event, please note that numbers are limited.
