Get in-depth knowledge of homelessness and take steps to help end it

Access to high-quality, relevant information on the causes and dimensions of homelessness is vital for creating change.

By drawing from the latest data and insights, Council to Homeless Persons produces articles, media releases, reports, and submissions to understand and explain issues of homelessness. We also run programs and campaigns to help change perceptions of homelessness and end it in Victoria for good.
