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.

Responding to the reality of Tasmania’s housing crisis

September 2025

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

Compared to the same period last year, there was:

a 34% increase in the number of Tasmanians seeking housing support
an 88% increase in the number of people sleeping rough; and a
54% increase in people living in inadequate or substandard dwellings.

The snapshot reveals that some Tasmanians are living in conditions more commonly seen in developing countries.

On the eve of the state budget, it calls on the Tasmanian government to step up its response to the housing crisis.
