As Holiday season approaches, a safe, stable place to call home is out of reach for many. Faced with increasing rents, a chronic lack of affordable housing, and income support below the poverty line, vulnerable people are up against systemic barriers that limit their access to safe affordable housing. Thousands are spending the festive season navigating the complex and overwhelmed homelessness system, or desperately trying to maintain their home through rent hikes and mortgage rises.
Imagine coming home to an overcrowded house, a small tent filled with young children, the backseat of your car, someone else’s couch, or a crisis room you know you’ll have to leave soon. This giving season, we’re supporting those facing homelessness on their journey towards home. We’re focused on supporting the journey towards home for:
- Young people who struggle to find appropriate affordable housing
- People experiencing homelessness with companion animals who face barriers accessing pet-friendly housing
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities experiencing disproportionate rates of homelessness
Every $335 helps support 1 person towards safe and secure housing.
This End of Year, give the gift of change and make a real impact of the lives of those who need it most.
All donations over $2 are tax deductible.
