Homelessness Week is held in the first week of August every year to raise community awareness of homelessness and the issues faced by people experiencing homelessness.

Get involved by participating in a Homelessness Week event, or by supporting CafeSmart – a StreetSmart initiative that sees participating cafes donate $1 from each coffee sold on August 4 to local homelessness services.

You can also view the latest data on homelessness via the Homelessness Australia website and follow the conversation on Twitter using the hashtags #HW2017 and #HomelessnessWeek.
