We've been seeing some great momentum with our local action groups around NSW, who are pushing ahead with the A Place to Call Home campaign in their communities.

We are grateful for these fantastic initiatives of advocacy and activism across the state, as we see the following great actions pictured:
👏 Toni Parker and Plus Community in Orange, who participated in the Vinnies NSW Community Sleepout representing the campaign in their shirts.
👏 Mandy Booker and the Wollongong Homeless Hub& Housing Services team, pictured with the Lord Mayor Tania Brown as they continue to build local support for the campaign.
👏 Cassie Primmer and the Social Futures team who ran a creative coffee cup petition campaign to help grow support and collect signatures.

These are just some of the many ways people across NSW are stepping up, speaking out and taking action in their communities. If you'd like to get involved, reach out to us at [email protected]

Thank you to everyone helping bring A Place to Call Home and the Support to Keep It to life. 💙🏠

Today marks the beginning of Homelessness Week.

Across NSW, homelessness services are supporting people through some of the most challenging moments of their lives. They are building trust, providing stability, advocating for better outcomes, and helping people not only find housing, but keep it.

Too often, this work happens quietly. But it changes lives every single day.

To mark the start of Homelessness Week, we're proud to launch our new campaign video, The Support to Keep It.

Featuring the voices of people with lived experience of homelessness, and those that have supported them through it, the film explores the difference that ongoing support makes once someone has a place to call home. Their stories remind us that ending homelessness isn't just about housing, it's about ensuring people have the support they need to stay housed, rebuild their lives and thrive.

To everyone working across the homelessness sector: thank you. Your compassion, persistence and commitment make a lasting difference, often in incredibly challenging circumstances.

We hope this film leaves you feeling proud of the work you do and why it matters.

🎥 Watch The Support to Keep It and help us share the message that housing and support go hand in hand.
