ASH Foundation

A place to call home. A chance to move forward.

Help make a place to call home possible.

A safe place to rest. Privacy. The freedom to make everyday choices. We are establishing ASH Foundation to help people facing homelessness and serious housing hardship associated with disability find practical support and a path towards a suitable home.

Sign-up for updates is not yet available. It will open once our contact service is ready.

Home is more than a roof

It is somewhere to keep your belongings. To close the door and feel secure. To plan tomorrow without every thought returning to where you will sleep.

We want to help make those ordinary, essential things possible for more people in Western Australia. Our starting point is the person: their circumstances, their choices and the support that could make a useful difference.

  • A key in your pocket
  • Privacy and safety
  • A place for your belongings
  • A home that works for your needs
  • Everyday choices
  • The ability to plan tomorrow

Our planned first steps

Finding a way forward

We plan to help people understand housing options, navigate relevant services and connect with appropriate support. The first step will be listening to what they need.

Making a home workable

Subject to funding and individual assessment, we plan to offer essential household assistance where it can relieve serious housing hardship or help someone settle into a suitable home.

Supporting stability

We want practical help to support lasting stability. Our planned approach includes appropriate referrals and follow-up, with respect for each person’s privacy and choices.

Programme note

These activities are being developed. Funding, service areas, eligibility and launch arrangements will be confirmed before applications open.

A family beginning. A public purpose.

Our family is coming together around a shared goal: to help people whose need for a safe, suitable home is not being met. We are preparing the governance, financial controls and safeguards that this responsibility requires.

Be part of the beginning

Follow our progress, offer your skills or introduce a potential community partner. There will be more ways to participate as the Foundation takes shape.

Governance and transparency

Five family members have been nominated to our proposed founding board. Our governing documents, appointments and registrations are being prepared and verified. We will distinguish plans from completed work.

Questions

Can I apply for help now?

Applications are not open. We will publish clear service information and eligibility details when a programme is ready to launch. This website is not an emergency response service.

Is the planned support only for people with disability?

Our planned purpose also includes people experiencing homelessness or at serious risk of homelessness. A person would not need to have disability to be considered under that pathway.

Can I donate now?

Donations are not yet open. You can follow our progress and receive an update when giving becomes available.

Follow the beginning. Be part of what comes next.

Our founding community sign-up will open once our contact service is ready. Until then, explore our plans and check our updates page.
