SARC Housing Connect Front Door Snapshot 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 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.
