As Homelessness Week comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the urgent realities of families experiencing homelessness, as shared by some of our staff who attended the recent Brisbane Zero Summit. Australia is facing a shortage of over 600,000 affordable rental homes (as reported by Homelessness Australia), and families are feeling the impact—struggling with rising living costs, limited access to mental health support, and other factors.
At HART4000, we’re dedicated to walking alongside families every step of the way, offering hope and practical support when it matters most. In 2025/26, our team has:
✨ Supported 822 families in crisis
✨ Helped 521 single-parent families
✨ Responded to 199 families citing domestic violence as the cause of their homelessness
✨ Secured long-term, sustainable housing for 143 families
✨ Assisted 62 families to stay in their private rentals by clearing arrears
Our Homelessness Assessment and Referral Team is here for anyone experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing their home. We offer compassionate, practical support—connecting individuals, couples, and families to the services they need.
If you or someone you know needs help, visit our welcoming drop-in service Monday to Friday, 1:00–3:00 pm, or our referral clinics Tuesday and Thursday, 9:30 am–12:00 pm (excluding public holidays) at 5 Green Square Close, Fortitude Valley—just one block from the train station.
