National Homelessness Week 2023
It’s time to end homelessness in Melbourne. But we can’t do this on our own. Launch Housing believes that when we work together, we CAN end homelessness.
That’s why Launch Housing is proud to power Melbourne Zero; a movement to inspire Melburnians and unify people, businesses, and organisations in an effort to end homelessness in our city.
Rising living costs, a lack of affordable housing, and consistent financial stress due to rent and mortgages are pushing many of our people into a state of homelessness. During National Homelessness Week (7-13 August), we are calling on all Melburnians to partner with us and ensure that nobody has to bear this burden alone. Together, we must do our best to put an end to this crisis. Everyone deserves a secure and stable home – it’s time we take action to make that a reality.
It’s time to end homelessness.

Melbourne, zero homelessness is possible.
Capital Cities Homelessness Index
For more than a decade, the global crisis of homelessness has been on the rise. The increasing cost of living, coupled with the shortage of social and affordable housing, has only made the issue worse.
Every city has faced this challenge in their own special manner, though no single answer can end homelessness. To tackle the homelessness crisis, Launch Housing has come up with the Capital Cities Homelessness Index. The Index is an ambitious report we hope will create change through collaboration and the sharing of ideas, policies, and methods among cities.
No city can trial everything. So by working together and sharing what we know works, we all have a better chance at implementing policies and practices that will help shift the dial to provide all people with housing.
Get involved this National Homelessness Week
We’re proud to be one of the world’s most progressive and liveable cities, yet thousands of Melburnians are homeless today. We want more for Melbourne – a liveable city for all of us. We want to be Australia’s first city to end street homelessness.
Join the Melbourne Zero movement and take action to end homelessness.
For the entire week, Launch Housing will light up the pillars of Melbourne Town Hall with a display showing the progress that has been made by Melbourne’s local councils in their efforts to end homelessness.
We’ll also display the names of Melburnians that have signed up to the Melbourne Zero movement. Will we see your name on display?
It’s time to end to homelessness. You can help by guaranteeing that nobody suffers alone. Show your generosity to Launch Housing and help us in our efforts to end homelessness in Melbourne, including our range of innovative housing and support solutions for children and families.
