Our Charter

Our values

Courageous

Being tenacious in challenging unfairness and finding solutions to the underlying causes of homelessness, challenging ourselves, challenging our organisations and services.

Inclusive

Upholding the respect, dignity and self-worth of all individuals; providing a non-judgmental response; and striving for everyone to have a safe, secure and affordable home and access to services and supports to fully participate in community life.

Transformative

Changing our ways of thinking and acting to bring about an end to homelessness (not managing it); responding and adapting to changing needs and opportunities; taking a data-informed approach to our action and advocacy to change systems and services to work better for people.

Our principles

People-centered

Putting people at the heart of all of our efforts.

  • Living and lived experience: Valuing and including people with living and lived experience of homelessness in shaping solutions.
  • Culturally driven: Embracing diversity, and ensuring our work is culturally appropriate and safe for everybody.
  • Resilient: Recognising resilience, being trauma-aware and healing-informed.
Action-driven

Taking collective responsibility and refusing to let a lack of resources be a barrier to action. Our focus is on making progress wherever we can.

Collaborative

Working together across the community using data and evidence to tackle the complexity of homelessness.

Improvement-focused

Being informed by efforts to end homelessness elsewhere, and using that knowledge to continually drive improvement and share what we learn.

Positive

Adopting a growth mindset and recognising that through improvement, we can effect positive change.

Minimum actions

Believe

Believing we can end homelessness.

Take relevant actions

Taking actions relevant to me/my organisation and to share what those actions are through our Accountability Framework.

Maintain respect
