At Shelter WA, we proudly stand with No Place for Poverty and the growing movement calling for a Western Australia where poverty has no place. As our CEO Kath Snell mentions in this video, the numbers are confronting: - Nearly 14% of West Australians are living in poverty - Over 210,000 households are struggling with affordable housing - 1 in 5 households experienced food insecurity last year - More than 90,000 children are growing up in poverty These aren’t just statistics, they’re a call to action. Because when we support people to overcome poverty, we unlock potential, strengthen communities, and build a fairer WA for everyone. Join the movement. Share the message. #NoPlaceForPoverty #APW25 #AntiPovertyWeek #UnlockingPotential #HousingJustice (fb)

Today is World Homelessness Day. Recognised globally on October 10, this day serves as a platform to: - Celebrate the work being done to prevent and end homelessness - Benchmark progress and advocate for improved policies and funding - Raise awareness about the needs of people currently experiencing homelessness - Promote local action to alleviate suffering and prevent death At Shelter WA, we continue to advocate for safe, secure, and affordable housing for all Western Australians. Homelessness is not inevitable – it’s solvable with the right systems, support, and political will. Let’s use today to reflect, connect, and recommit to ending homelessness in our communities.
