StreetSmart responds to and prevents homelessness in Australia because we believe everyone should have a safe and secure place to call home. By raising funds and awareness to support smaller, grassroots organisations, we bring about change for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
We distribute support and funds back into the regions in which they were raised because after 20 years of creating place-based impact for those most vulnerable, we believe this is a powerful way of ensuring sustained change.
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 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.
Material aid makes a house, a home. People in crisis and exiting out of homelessness need support as they create new havens of safety and independence. Making an empty house liveable with essentials like a fridge, cleaning supplies, and homewares, can be expensive and push vulnerable people further into debt. Simple items like new sheets and towels offer people comfort and dignity in their time of stress.
Housing is a human right. For those facing intersectional challenges like poverty, homelessness, domestic and family violence, or displacement after a natural disaster, a roof over your head means safety and dignity.
Too many Australians are struggling to have enough food for themselves and their families. Parents are skipping meals so their kids can eat dinner and children are turning up to school hungry and unable to focus.
“Our business has been supporting StreetSmart through workplace giving since 2015. Each month our team helps fund a new project and we get immediate feedback on how the money has been spent. We are really proud to be a part of such an important initiative, and our staff are too.” Justine Butler, ASIC in the Community Manager
