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.

Every quarter, Anglicare Tasmania publishes a snapshot of data from the last three months of operation, with the aim of:
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.
Our most recent report is a snapshot of the Housing Connect Front Door Service from October to December 2024.
During this period, the service responded to a total of 10,723 enquiries from over 5400 families and individuals. The service was expanded to bring housing information and supports to people leaving prison, Tasmanians with mental and physical health challenges, and those in regional areas.
The snapshot showed an increase in the number of people in employment who sought housing support, as well as a rise of the number of households who contacted Housing Connect for the first time.
Vacancy rates in the private rental market were critically low throughout the quarter and there was significant unmet demand for social housing.
The number of applications on the social housing register rose by 3.3% to 4866.
During this time, the Housing Connect Front Door assisted people in making 1248 new social housing applications.
