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

Housing is essential for mental health

June 2025

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

It also reports on the first full 12 months of Anglicare operating this service statewide on behalf of Homes Tasmania.

Over this period the Front Door responded to 48,662 enquiries for housing support.

Vacancy rates around the State are at a record low, and rents have risen almost twice as fast as income.

The social housing register has grown by nearly 10% to a record 5,163 applications.

The Snapshot identified that 45% of people seeking housing support had a mental health issue.

People need housing certainty and security; their mental health improves and it supports their recovery. This has positive flow-on effects for family members including children, and for the wider community.
