Homelessness Week raises awareness of people experiencing homelessness, the issues they face and the action needed to achieve enduring solutions.
Homelessness Week is a national event, with events held across Australia during the first full week in August.
This year, Homelessness Week will be held from Monday 5th- Sunday 9th of August 2024.
Events will be held right across Tasmania throughout Homelessness Week. Information will be added as events are announced, but you can stay up to date with what’s happening in Homelessness Week (and the housing and homelessness sector) by subscribing to Shelter Tas’ eNews.
Make sure you lend your support to the Everybody’s Home Campaign petition this Homelessness Week, calling on Treasurer Jim Chalmers to invest in social housing and an increase in Commonwealth Rent Assistance. Go to the Everybody’s Home website or view the listing in the events calendar below.
We have created a number of resources to help you plan and promote your event. Please contact the Shelter Tas Team to access the resources.
Hosting an event during Homelessness Week is a great way to raise awareness and connections within your community. You can also use it to build political influence to achieve change – for example by visiting your local MP or inviting them to attend your event.
