Housing Connect Front Door Snapshot

The Housing Connect Front Door is the entry point for people to access housing support, from emergency accommodation to a long-term home. Although the Front Door service does not provide housing, it can assist clients to apply for social housing or maintain a private rental tenancy.

Anglicare Tasmania is funded by government to deliver the Housing Connect Front Door service statewide from July 2024.

Quarterly Report

Every quarter, Anglicare Tasmania publishes a snapshot of data from the last three months of operation, with the aim of:

examining the needs of clients who engaged with the Front Door
describing the outcomes achieved
investigating the reasons for any gaps between identified needs and outcomes achieved.

Based on this information, the Snapshot report makes policy recommendations to improve the response to Tasmanians seeking housing support.

The first report published in October 2024, was titled ‘More Houses Needed’ and included some valuable information about the Housing Connect Front Door Service and Housing Connect 2.0.

Most recent Housing Connect Front Door Snapshot

Families escaping domestic and family violence need homes

March 2025

Our most recent report is a snapshot of the Housing Connect Front Door Service from January to March 2025.

During this quarter, the Front Door responded to 13,214 inquiries, up from 10,723 the previous quarter.

50% of clients’ need for crisis accommodation went unmet; 79% of the need for medium-term accommodation went unmet, and 78% of the need for long-term housing was unmet.

One of the most alarming trends this quarter was a 28% increase in domestic and family violence (DFV) as the main reason for people seeking housing support.

Families escaping DFV need a pathway to safety, from suitable crisis and emergency accommodation, through to medium-term transitional accommodation and then long-term housing security. In Tasmania, there is a shortage of housing at every point along this pathway.
