Over 17,600 children younger than 12 years are homeless
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.
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
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.
