Volunteer-run · Victoria, Australia
Everything else starts with somewhere to live.
We raise funds to design and build dignified, purpose-built, wheelchair-accessible homes for people who are homeless or at risk.
What we do
Housing is the larger part of it. The rest follows from what people need once they have somewhere to live.
- 01HousingWe raise funds to design and construct dignified, purpose-built, wheelchair-compliant homes. People are matched to them through community crisis centres.
- 02Psychological outreachFree psychological support for people living in crisis and transitional accommodation, so cost is never the reason someone goes without it.
- 03ProjectsSmaller programs that build skills or meet an immediate need, from urban beekeeping to redistributing surplus clothing.
For schools
Schools see it first. We helped write what they can do about it.
Forty ready-to-adapt school policies by researchers in each field, including one on preventing student homelessness. Free to read and download, with nothing to buy and no sign-up.
