Housing and Homelessness
Ruah is the lead agency of the 50 Lives 50 Homes campaign, working with organisations across
multiple sectors to collaboratively address challenges of housing Perth’s most vulnerable rough sleeping
homeless population.
Using a Housing First approach, 50 Lives 50 Homes works towards ending homelessness, finding housing
for the most vulnerable rough sleepers and then providing wrap around support to reduce the risk of
returning to homelessness.
Within the first 18 months of the campaign 50 clients were successfully housed with many
others being supported. Clients of the campaign have access to after hours support thanks to the
After Hours Support Service.
