Accomodation for homeless people and low income earners will be built in Mandurah.
Mandurah was selected as the second 'Common Ground' location after the Department of Communities identified a high number of rough sleepers in the area.
The City's latest count of rough sleepers found 84 people were without a roof over their head on the night of their survey, and the local government has been proactive in working to identify a suitable site for a Common Ground facility.
Common Ground developments couple safe and permanent housing with tailored support services to help people stay off the streets for good.
These residential apartment complexes are purpose-built for people who are sleeping rough, experiencing chronic homelessness or on low incomes.
“We want Western Australia to be a place where everyone has a safe and comfortable place to sleep," Premier Mark McGowan said.
“The confirmation of Mandurah as a second Common Ground location is a major step in our efforts to address homelessness in our State."
A total of $35 million has been allocated for the Mandurah and East Perth Common Ground developments.
