About us
We are an Australian team of volunteers raising funds to build safe, affordable housing for people who are homeless or at risk.
What we are
The Homeless Project is a small charity run by volunteers. We raise funds to design and construct dignified, purpose-built, wheelchair-compliant homes, and we work alongside community crisis centres who match people to them.
Our founders donate their time and cover the organisation’s running costs themselves, so donations go into the work rather than into overheads.
What we believe
We believe that safe, affordable accommodation is a crucial step to acquiring work skills, stable employment and competent life management. Housing is not the whole answer to homelessness, but very little else is possible without it.

How donations are used, how people are housed, and why we also run a wildlife sanctuary.
