We Believe

We believe everyone should have a safe and secure place to call home. It is a basic human right. Ending homelessness will take a whole of community response.

We Empower

Through innovative campaigns we enable and empower communities to raise vital funds and awareness to bring about change for people experiencing homelessness or at risk.

We Support

We keep it grassroots, we keep it local. We seek out, support and partner with small organisations and projects, in the communities where funds are raised.

Everybody should have a safe and secure place to call home.

Homelessness is diverse so we are too! We’re all about making a positive impact by backing small, frontline, grassroots organisations that tirelessly support the 122,494 people facing homelessness. At StreetSmart, we tackle homelessness head-on through innovative national and local campaigns. We’re not just filling gaps – we’re creating bridges to real change! Join us in making a difference where it’s needed most, in small, grassroots homelessness organisations across the country.
