Like you, we want to see real change. Our goal is to end rough sleeping in Melbourne by 2030. And when we do, we’ll be Australia’s first city to make it happen.

To end rough sleeping, we must know who is experiencing it by name

We’re working to implement By-Name Lists across Melbourne. This simple, person-centred tool helps outreach workers and community services better provide support and housing directly for people sleeping rough.

Eight councils have already joined, and we need all 31. This approach has been proven to work in various communities around the world, including Rockford, Illinois; Medicine Hat, Canada; and Bakersfield, California.

Together, we can end homelessness in Melbourne

We're working towards a future where no one in our city has to sleep rough. We're busting stigma, spotlighting solutions, and pushing for change in our local communities.

Thousands of people have already joined the movement, and we need people like you to help make it happen.

Your support and advocacy shows decision-makers just how many of us care about ending homelessness in our city.
