The WAAEH is not a single organisation; it is a collective of many organisations and individuals who are committed to ending homelessness in WA by 2028. Since late 2018, the Alliance has been working on their governance framework and are now pleased to formally invite organisations and
|
individuals to sign up. If you have something to contribute to the Alliance - whether that’s expertise, time, in-kind or financial support - please join as an Alliance Partner. Getting started just requires committing to the Vision and Principles, and completing this form.

Topic: Conceptual Model of the Outcomes Measurement Framework
|
|
Join us at our next Pulse Meeting!
Each fortnightly Pulse Meeting offers the opportunity for anyone working towards ending homelessness to come together, hear updates, workshop ideas, and use our pop-up co-working space.
|
We commit to developing an outcomes measurement framework for homelessness, for which the Centre for Social Impact UWA has been working on over the last few months. The Conceptual Model will help us understand and bring together the concepts of the framework.

What Happened at the Last Meeting
|
|
|
At our Pulse Meeting on 22 May participants gave feedback on the Rough Sleepers Action Plan. Discussions took place around a
|
number of topics such as a housing first system and 'no wrong door' approach. Activities included an action matrix and a card sort.
|
|
At our Pulse Meeting on 8 May participants had the chance to learn about, and discuss, the topics of ERConnect and the Common Ground supported housing model.
|
The ERConnect website, which is in development, can be easily searched by people in need of services and by services who are looking to refer people.

How a two-month trip to Africa which included time in a 110-hectare garbage dump in Jakarta made Katie Liew realise that she
|
was completely dissatisfied, angry and deflated with the state of our world. The first thing she had to do was quit her job.
