StreetSmart Australia

At StreetSmart, for the past 20 years, we have championed and supported local grassroots organisations providing services to people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This focus came out of the direct experience of our Founder, Adam Robinson, working in smaller front-line community services and seeing how they provided vital support services and strengthened local communities, yet were under-resourced by Governments, while experiencing real barriers to fundraising, including lack of capacity to make formal applications for funding. We know local leaders, volunteers and community groups are best placed to identify what support their communities need, and have solutions and mechanisms in place that work for them and their community. They are the lifeblood of our suburbs, towns and regions and play a critical role in innovating, creating change, and building caring and resilient communities.

To date StreetSmart has distributed over $12 million in funding across 1000+ community project supporting homelessness, and we still operate at a local, grassroots level to fund critical services.

We Believe: everyone should have a safe and secure place to call home. It is a basic human right. Ending homelessness will take a whole of community response.

We Empower: through innovative campaigns we enable and empower communities to raise vital funds and awareness to bring about change for people experiencing homelessness or at risk.

We Support: we keep it grassroots, we keep it local. We seek out, support and partner with small organisations and projects, in the communities where funds are raised.
