FUNDRAISING
Join us in the race to end homelessness. Melbourne Teams Corporate Triathlon proudly supports Launch Housing.
Did you know that over 30,000 people in Victoria won’t have a home to sleep in tonight?
As Victoria’s largest independent specialist homelessness organisation and community housing provider, Launch Housing has been supporting and advocating for people impacted by homelessness in Melbourne for over 75 years.
ABOUT LAUNCH HOUSING
Launch Housing’s work is more crucial than ever as our community faces a once-in-a generation housing and cost of living crisis. Melbourne is a progressive city, consistently ranked as one of the most liveable in the world. However, sadly, our city is facing a growing homelessness crisis.
One of the leading causes is domestic and family violence, with children and young people making up more than one-third of the people without a home. Too many people in our city are just a pay cycle or two away from homelessness. There’s a shortage of affordable homes, and rents are at a record high.
A job no longer guarantees a home, and data shows that an increasing number of people who are in paid employment are seeking the support of homelessness services. But amidst this crisis, there is hope. Solutions exist. With more homes and more support, we can end homelessness in Melbourne.
Last year, Launch Housing supported over 14,000 people with a range of innovative housing and homelessness solutions.
They need your help to keep up with growing demand and to continue supporting people in our community who are facing tough times.
