Fundraise your way
When you take part in community fundraising for homelessness Australia with Haven Home Safe, you’re helping people in your community access safe housing and support.
Your efforts directly support people experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing their home, contributing to prevent homelessness support programs that create long-term stability.
Community fundraising is a simple and meaningful way to make a real difference in addressing housing insecurity.
You can get involved in a way that suits you—at work, with friends, or in your local community. This could include:
- Hosting an event
- Taking on a personal challenge
- Celebrating a birthday or milestone
- Organising a workplace fundraiser
Every contribution to community fundraising for homelessness Australia helps us provide:
- Crisis and transitional housing support
- Support to maintain tenancies
- Pathways out of homelessness
We’ll support you with ideas, resources and guidance to help you run a successful charity fundraising housing support activity.
If you have any questions, please contact our Fundraising and Partnerships Specialist Georgia Gribble at [email protected]
Shannon's Story
Former SMH resident Shannon generously shared his story with ABC Central Victoria breakfast radio station.
Listen to hear how Shannon found himself experiencing homelessness, how he felt during this time and how he found the Sidney Myer Haven program.
Shannon shared the impact this program had on his life “Sidney Myer Haven doesn’t just change lives, it saves lives” he says.
Social Return On Investment (SROI) Reports
We know the Sidney Myer Haven program transforms lives, but we also want to be able to showcase the social value and economic benefits of this work. In both 2018 and 2023 we engaged our partners at Think Impact to conduct a Social Return on Investment report. The 2023 report showed a 20 per cent increase in value generated since the first evaluation in 2018, finding that for every dollar invested, between $12 and $13 of social and economic value is generated.
