Our Mission

Homelessness is every Australian’s responsibility. With collective action and political will, we can end homelessness once and for all.

WHAT WE DO

At Homeless.com.au we provide a portal for those wonderful citizens offering help that link with those in our communities who need it most.

Whether it be as a result of family breakdown, adversity, unemployment, domestic violence, addiction, abuse, natural disaster, Homeless.com.au provides the platform for every Australian to share something that they have in excess with someone to which that support will mean so much.

On the Homeless.com.au website individuals, families, couple and corporations can offer anything from a space available as a short-term shelter through to the purchase of a t-shirt, drink bottle or reusable shopping bag. Homeless.com.au provides the opportunity for every Australian to offer support to friends in need.

RICHARD FURNARI

CEO & Founder of Homeless.com.au

At homeless.com.au its been my vision to provide a connection through our portal between hosts (everyday Australians) and agencies (support Organisations) to provide a broadened network of available resources for shelter, support, hygiene, training and employment of the homeless and disadvantaged in our communities.
Homeless is not hopeless. Homelessness in Australia is everyone’s responsibility and by working collaboratively with all in our community and sharing resources, energy, and opportunity I believe we can make homelessness history. Join me and help me make a difference today.

For agencies

Agencies around Australia that support the homeless and disadvantaged in our communities are invited to Register Here so together we can make meaningful connections with the kind people who are willing to offer a room space or shelter in their lives for someone in need

Register as a host

At homeless.com.au it is our vision to end homeless in Australia. We believe its everyone’s responsibility to help those less fortunate in our communities. Whether its shelter for the night week or month, a hot meal, support with employment and training or the provision of services to combat addiction. At homeless.com.au everyday Australians can register their support today

We must teach our children that the greatest gift in life is the gift of giving and only then through future generations can we change our world and make history. Those suffering adversity in our society are Homeless not hopeless! We must support them along a path to recovery and help them find their strengths and purpose and assist them in making a meaningful contribution within society and one where they are both respected and valued by all.

In 2014, I commenced a charity in Geelong called Project C. Project C was a program for children centeredaround collaboration, community and vitamin c. The inspiration was to provide children in in challenged demographic areas in our community with fresh oranges and mandarins.

Over the next three years, with the support of David Thierry from Geelong Citrus Packers, we delivered fresh citrus fruit to over 12,000 children across 41 schools in the Geelong area. As a part of this project and with the support of Carrie Felton from Stuck on You, we were able to provide backpacks, rain coats, drink bottles and lunch boxes to those same children and schools that were in need of these basic items.

OUR PEOPLE

We communicate with hundreds of homeless people and support agencies each year. Our website provides a platform where vital support can be shared between hosts and agencies that will enable people to rebuild their lives and find friendship and support and help break the cycle of homelessness for good.
