3 Foreword Shelter WA is Western Australia s social and affordable housing peak body, committed to accessible, affordable, appropriate and secure housing in Western Australia. Shelter WA focuses on supporting positive housing outcomes for people on low to moderate incomes or who are otherwise disadvantaged in the housing market. This includes people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Shelter WA promotes and advocates housing options along the whole housing continuum, including social housing (public and community housing), affordable housing provided through the private sector, and affordable home ownership. The work of Shelter WA is directed towards influencing government and other stakeholders leading to the elimination of homelessness and housing related poverty. Shelter WA believes housing is a human right, and every person should have appropriate and affordable housing, and security of tenure. The Strategic Plan builds upon the achievements of the past and extends the work of Shelter WA to provide a solid foundation for its future development. Priority areas of the Strategic Plan include research of emerging housing issues, influence on the development of housing services, provision of information and education, advocating at a systemic level on behalf of disadvantaged housing consumers, and working to influence change in the housing market in Western Australia. The Strategic Plan provides a strong vision for Shelter WA to influence change at both the service and policy levels and engage stakeholders, while building upon its previous successes to meet a changing Western Australian housing system. The next three-year period is an opportunity for Shelter WA to transform the housing landscape in Western Australia. Leanne Strommen Chairperson 1 P a g e
