Live Poll

Should businesses do more to fund homelessness support in Australia?

More than 400 people from Australia's property industry took part in the A Night Without Home campaign in October 2026, raising over $1 million for housing and services. It is the second year A Home For All Foundation has rallied the sector to pass the $1 million mark.

Why it matters

The campaign aims to raise funds and awareness for Australia's homelessness crisis. Its proceeds are directed to charity partners providing services to people whose homelessness stems from domestic and family violence.

Metricon Homes topped the team leaderboard with almost $60,000, while REA Group employees collectively raised more than $200,000 throughout October. Friends with Dignity supported 496 people through its Sanctuary program over the past six months, though how the Sanctuary program's funding splits across the campaign is not specified.

Season Trajectory

The 2026 campaign continues the A Home For All Foundation's annual model, which was established in 2025 and has now passed $1 million in fundraising for two consecutive years. Its sector-wide participation ties the property industry's charitable giving to the ongoing homelessness crisis in Australia.

Readers who are renters facing family violence may find support through Justice Connect's Women's Homelessness Prevention Program, which has helped more than 4,000 renters. Those interested in homelessness services can look to organisations like Women's Community Shelters, whose Aurora Place in Ashfield has provided 3,576 safe bed nights.

The takeaway

Donations from the property sector have now surpassed $1 million in consecutive years, showing sustained industry support for people facing homelessness. Readers can consider supporting local housing and shelter services through charitable giving.
