The Problem

Right now there are 2,619 people experiencing homelessness in ACT and surrounding regions on any given night. They don’t have access to the basic essentials, like a safe place to sleep, a warm meal and clean clothes.

And as the weather gets colder, sleeping on the streets is a struggle so people are desperate to find shelter and comfort.

This winter, we urgently need to provide 2,719 nights of emergency accommodation for people struggling on our streets. With enough funding, we'll be able to Gift A Night Off the Streets to those who are doing it tough.

We need to support the most vulnerable people in our society to show them they’re not alone.

How you can help

YOU can ‘Gift A Night Off the Streets’ to someone experiencing homelessness this winter.

By sponsoring a night, you can provide them with a warm bed, clean clothes and a hot meal. Because when you’re alone and living on the streets, it’s nice to know someone is looking out for you.

We need to fund 2,719 nights of emergency accommodation for those experiencing homelessness this winter.

The colder weather is a struggle on the streets so people are desperate to find shelter and warmth.

Your Impact

After losing his job, David found himself living on the streets.

"All I had was a suitcase and shoulder bag that I used as a pillow at night. I couldn’t believe how quickly it happened", David told us.

Thanks to our generous donors, David was able to use our crisis accommodation service to get back on his feet.

So far, St Vincent de Paul Society has been able to provide him with life-changing assistance including:

  • A safe place to stay, a warm bed and regular meals.
  • Working with service staff to apply for housing.

Today, thanks to the kindness of compassionate supporters like you, David is now back at work and has been able to find a safe and secure place to call home.

"Vinnies supported me the whole way and with 
everything I need", said David.

Your support will ensure people like David have somewhere to turn to in times of need.
