We have all seen that homelessness is increasing in our area and Kallaroo Residents Association has been talking to the Joondalup Wanneroo Ending Homelessness Group about how residents can help. The City has a great page with useful info, contact numbers etc and there is free access to the internet at our libraries – https://www.joondalup.wa.gov.au/kb/resident/homelessness-3
Help and support can be found from WA Connect and Entry Point Perth.
