Rebecca's story

From sleeping in a car to a safe home. Mission Australia help with permanent housing solutions, as well as emotional support for Australian families experiencing homelessness. 

 

The need

In Australia, on any given night 116,000 people are homeless. Families are faced with additional complexities when navigating the challenges associated with homelessness.

This project focuses on early intervention and prevention of homelessness, as well as health, wellbeing and educational support services along the journey. Through this project, we empower families with the skills to reshape their future and pave the way towards real and lasting change.

Many in need experience 'hidden homelessness' - having shelter, but no permanent place to call home

The objective

The objective of this project is to provide three to nine months of accommodation for families in need, whilst working towards a permanent living solution in private rentals.

In addition to accommodation, this project also works intensively with those in need to identify the core cause of homelessness, provide support to work through those issues and secure stable, safe living environments for the future.

Your Pledge:

Providing safety, security, dignity


With your Purpose Pledge, homes will be provided to give Australian families experiencing homelessness a safe roof over their head and the support services to build a bright, hope-filled future.

Our Safe Housing project supports the following Sustainable Development Goals:
