Empowering the Frontline. 

Frontline staff are working tirelessly in a 'crisis climate' to meet the rising demand for support, but resources are stretched thinner than ever. To meaningfully support people facing homelessness, we need frontline staff and organisations that are equipped to navigate a sector in crisis.
That's why we're raising funds and awareness through January and February to strengthen and empower the often forgotten frontline workers.

“While staff are dealing with distressed clients and their trauma and crisis, they are also reliving their own trauma. External Supervision and group activities will help staff overcome the trauma that they have experienced. This will assist them to work on their PTSD like symptoms which will in turn benefit our clients and communities over all.” – Donna Bertoli, Mid Richmond Neighbourhood Centre Inc

“Regional workers in organisations with limited training budgets can, through no fault of their own, miss important professional development opportunities for training and upskilling” - Council to Homeless Persons, VIC (pictured)

Why your support is needed

The homelessness and community sector is overburdened. Essential programs are closing doors to cope with demand and staff are forced to make decisions about who to turn away and who to help.

In the midst of this unrelenting pressure and demand, we’re targeting forgotten and overlooked areas of support, to help strengthen the homelessness sector. 

“We are running a workforce deficit. Each worker is supposed to have 12 to 15 clients of average complexity but most have 20 to 25 clients, and with more complex needs.”

Corporate & Workplace Giving

“Our business has been supporting StreetSmart through workplace giving since 2015. Each month our team helps fund a new project and we get immediate feedback on how the money has been spent. We are really proud to be a part of such an important initiative, and our staff are too.” Justine Butler, ASIC in the Community Manager
