The Adelaide Zero Project (AZP), a collective impact initiative seeking to end rough sleeping homelessness in the inner city, has identified a lack of culturally appropriate responses for Aboriginal visitors sleeping rough in the Adelaide Park Lands.

This report, commissioned by WA Alliance to End Homelessness and released in January 2021, expresses the findings of research into how the WA community views homelessness.

Research on the impact of rough sleeping in Australia as well as elsewhere predominantly focuses on the experiences of men. While men represent the majority of the rough sleeping population the lack of focus on women sleeping rough leaves a significant gap in our knowledge of the experiences of rough sleeping women in Australia.

The Adelaide Zero Project Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Framework is the structure guiding routine and ongoing checking of progress (monitoring), periodic assessment of results (evaluation) and the reporting of such for the Adelaide Zero Project and
beyond. We have included ‘the beyond’ as part of the document to reflect the fact that what is contained in this document has broader application.

The Adelaide Zero Project has brought together a coalition of over 40 homelessness, housing, health, government, university, corporate and community Partners, with the goal of achieving Functional Zero homelessness for people sleeping rough in Adelaide’s inner-city. A truly collective approach has been revolutionary—Partners have united with shared goals, shared measurement and shared outputs to achieve better outcomes for people sleeping rough.
