Where The Money Goes
A great deal of effort goes into ensuring your donation is working hard.
Our expert staff, strong accountability measures, research into effectiveness and impact, and advocacy to prevent homelessness, all contribute to a better organisation and better outcomes for Melbourne.
Our aim is to not merely ‘treat’ homelessness, but to end it.
In FY20, Launch Housing spent 84% of its total annual expenditure on delivering programs and supporting people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
