The Victorian Homeless Fund Kindly supported by the HIA to build a house, & give away a Home. 🏡 The Victorian Homeless Fund
Founded in 1987.

Building Homes & Rebuilding Lives. ❤️

We are a local charity working with builders, philanthropists, councils and government agencies to turn unused residential land into family homes! The VHF has provided housing for more than 200 homeless.
- by building $7 million worth of houses in suburbs of Melbourne. The VHF is an independent charitable organisation, was founded in the International Year of Shelter for the Homeless with a clear mission – to help support and work towards preventing homelessness. It achieves this by drawing together philanthropic funds, volunteer and pro bono assistance & donated materials to renovate & build homes. Long-term & transitional housing has been provided in 12 newly-built or renovated houses. A partnership is developed with community & charitable agencies that deliver services to those in need and have the capacity to manage the properties. The Fund has previously worked with the Salvation Army, Hanover Welfare Services, Wesley Central Mission, WAYSS & the Women’s Property Initiative. In Victoria, 22,000 people are recorded as homeless. Over half are under 25 & according to the Council to Homeless Persons, one in six is a child under 12. Government-funded agencies report that one in every two women with children accessing homelessness services is escaping violence in the home. Affordable housing is the bedrock for the welfare of families and individuals. It is almost impossible to be employed without a home! The effects of homelessness on children are particularly dire in terms of their health, education and personal well being. Future projects
The Fund is now seeking funds & land for its next project 2021 . For information please contact Colleen May Chairperson | Mob 0425 745 512

Proud and deeply grateful. 💛

The Victorian Homeless Fund was honoured to receive a $10,000 grant from the Cardinia Community Foundation VIC at their recent grants evening — funding that will be directed straight into furnishing one of our SJD Homes builds currently under construction.

It was a privilege to have some of our team in the room with so many passionate organisations and individuals committed to making a difference. The generosity of foundations like this one is what makes projects like ours possible. 🏠
