We know that ending homelessness is possible, but only if we work together in new ways. That is why on 27 October 2022 the Australian Alliance to End Homelessness (AAEH) will be hosting the inaugural Australian Zero Homelessness Summit, bringing together all the organisations and communities committed to ending homelessness in Australia and to officially launch the Advance to Zero campaign.

The summit will bring together people and organisations across the homelessness, housing, health, and many other sectors, across industries, and all levels of government to ensure everyone has access to the housing and support they need to make sure that any future incidents of homelessness that do occur are rare, brief, and a one-time occurrence.

Delivered by: Rian Watt, Strategy Lead, International & Initiative Large-Scale Change, Community Solutions

Explanation: Creating a by-name list of everyone sleeping rough in your community is a central part of efforts to end homelessness – but how do you create one, what do you need to do to ensure you are accurately assessing who is entering your homelessness system on an ongoing basis, and how do you know if the data you are collecting is accurate?

To answer these and many other questions, we have created a checklist (or scorecard) to help your community not just establish a by-name list, but ensure that it is a quality list that can be relied upon to help make informed decisions about prioritisation and providing permanent housing to those who need it.

This session will explain the scorecard and its various components including, for example, how to better understand the needs of certain populations of interest, including veterans, individuals or families fleeing domestic violence, and those experiencing chronic homelessness.

Audience: New communities and existing Advance to Zero projects/campaigns or collaborations.

Price: $65+GST full price. Free for AAEH partners and Advance to Zero communities. If cost is a barrier for you or your organisation please contact us.
