A Western Australian First Nations business will be able to boost its services to tackle homelessness after registering as a charity organisation.

Indigenous-owned and operated, i24s Aboriginal Corporation will now be able to access tax exemptions and concessions which will assist the group in attracting more donations to support the services they offer to clients.

i24s Group director Angela Kickett said the Malaga-based corporation empowered individuals to thrive by providing Cultural Response and Advocacy services for some of the most vulnerable people in the community.

"Enabling marginalised people to access support and subsequently, to pursue a better life for themselves and their family, are critical first steps to breaking the cycle of homelessness," she said.

"So, we're hoping becoming a charitable organisation will open doors for us more to apply for that type of funding where we can essentially help more homeless people out on the streets.

"We are also very passionate about other things like domestic violence".

Ms Kickett told National Indigenous Times more funding would enable the company to do more in-depth case work with Indigenous people living on the streets.

She is also hoping to secure government contracts which would go a long to helping First Nations homelessness.

"At the moment, we're just very reactive, we're very much out there talking to people and then we will deal with something and then we don't necessarily know what's happened to them afterwards," she said.

"This contract that we're potentially applying for will allow us to have a lot more in-depth and work with the people that are from the streets.

"We are so passionate about making a difference to the people that are on the street."

The 2021 Census found the homeless rate of First Nations people was 8.8 times the rate of non-Indigenous Australians.

On the night of the Census, almost 25,000 First Nations people were found to be sleeping rough.

Ms Kickett said one of the businesses biggest achievements was the ability to return homeless First Nations people to country.

"So far we've done probably between 60 to 70 returns to countries since we started in December last year, predominantly in the Kimberley and Pilbara area," she said.

"We're now starting to get a bit of a flow into the Goldfields and South West.

"But typically, it's Kimberley and Pilbara - they're the mob that get stuck here and, you know, a lot of it's just because of distance, it's the cost of a plane fare and typically they haven't got that type of money to get home.

"The return to Country is super important for us, and now that we're a charitable organisation it will allow us to look at other circumstances that don't fit in within the scope of what we've currently got."

Ms Kickett said finding ways to reduce homelessness means responding to the unique needs of everyone.

She said homelessness was often the result of many factors, including the lack of affordable accommodation, unemployment, mental illness, broken families, domestic violence and substance abuse.

"Thanks to the contracts we secured with the Department of Communities and other government organisations, we have strengthened our Cultural Response and Advocacy capabilities, and encouraged those in need to begin (or continue) their journey of self-improvement and gain financial independence," she said.

In August, Homelessness Australia called for a dedicated First Nations Housing and Homelessness Plan to address the issues driving the over-representation of Indigenous children and families among Australia's homeless population.

The corporation released the 2024 Child Homelessness Snapshot revealing what it called "the harsh reality of the homelessness crisis hitting Aussie families," with more than one-third of the 88,696 family members who sought support still homeless during their last contact with homelessness support services.

The new report shows more than 76,000 children under the age of 18 sought help from homelessness support services across the nation annually.

Almost 16,000 of these children were alone—unaccompanied by a parent or caregiver—and many were fleeing domestic violence, abuse or neglect at home.

The report found First Nations children are over-represented among children experiencing homelessness, making up 32 per cent of homeless children nationally, despite comprising only 6.8 per cent of the population under 18.
