Join our mission to help fundraise and raise awareness for homelessness in Canterbury-Bankstown!
In Canterbury-Bankstown, an increasing number of vulnerable people are experiencing what is often termed as 'hidden homelessness'. This could look like living temporarily with other households – perhaps sleeping on friends’ sofas or in the spare room of a relative, often moving regularly. It’s no secret that Australia’s housing and homelessness crisis has escalated to an emergency.
Early intervention and prevention is at the heart of our work as we pursue our vision of an Australia where all of us have a safe home and can thrive.
HOW IT WORKS
