Policy and Research - Housing and Homelessness

Housing and Homelessness

After working closely with the State Government and the youth sector to build collective understanding of Housing First for Youth (HF4Y) and emphasise the need to include it in WA’s youth service landscape over the last couple of years, YACWA identified that further work was needed to build understanding of HF4Y in WA and identify what is needed to facilitate the successful piloting and implementation of the approach in WA.

YACWA is proud to launch the Youth Homelessness Action Plan (The Plan). This document sits under the Western Australian Alliance to End Homelessness's 10 Year Strategy to End Homelessness and aims to galvanise the community to carry out the collective action needed to improve outcomes for young people currently experiencing homelessness and to prevent it for future generations.
