Safe Housing

Accommodation and wrap around services for Australian families experiencing homelessness

Breaking the cycle

This project helps to break the cycle of homelessness and supports disadvantaged Australian families build a safe and bright future that is full of hope. 

The facts

Over 17,600 children younger than 12 years are homeless

Domestic and family violence is the main reason why people experience homelessness

26% increase in demand for homelessness support services in the past 3 years

'Rough sleepers' only account for approximately 9% of homelessness

Lack of affordable housing is a growing cause of homelessness

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