Empowering people at risk of or experiencing homelessness.

Tonight, more than 122,000 Australians will be homeless.
Our aim is to make that number zero.

Ending Homelessness

At Dignity, we believe we can collaboratively end homelessness in Australia. To do this, we empower people who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness to prevent, respond to and end their homelessness. Dignity currently provides supported temporary accommodation and longer-term housing and employment programs for hundreds of people every night of the year and operates multiple programs to prevent homelessness including food relief and education across Australia.

Everything we do is guided by two core beliefs:

Every person should be treated with dignity

Collaboratively, we can end homelessness in Australia – one person at a time

We do more than help people who are experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. We treat everyone with dignity and empower people to find a fresh way forward.

Empowering people at risk of or experiencing homelessness

Here’s what we do every day to empower people in need:

Guest Homes

Our supported temporary accommodation provides a home and haven, not just shelter

Food Relief

Changing Attitudes

Raising awareness to dispel the myths and stigmas around homelessness

Education

Offering life skills programs for our residents and the community

Founded in 2015, we empower people to end their homelessness.
