Homelessness, Research and Advocacy

Launch Housing is committed to ending homelessness. We believe access to safe, secure and affordable housing is a fundamental right and this guides our work. We undertake evidence based research to understand the causes and consequences of homelessness and use research findings to advocate for a better approach for the 24,800 Victorians who are currently homeless.
