About us

Who we are

The Australian Alliance to End Homelessness (AAEH) is an independent champion and catalyst for ending homelessness in Australia. We support and amplify community efforts through driving the Advance to Zero movement, building a series of allied networks and working in partnership with people with lived experience to demonstrate that it is possible to make homelessness rare, brief and once-off.

What we do

Since 2013, we have supported individuals, organisations, governments and local communities across Australia to work collaboratively across sectors to end homelessness – not just at an individual level, but systemically.

Specifically, we work to prevent, reduce and end homelessness by ensuring that everyone has access to the housing and support they need, so that any future incidents of homelessness are rare, brief and once-off. This is how we define an end to homelessness.

Through Advance to Zero, our allied networks and our training and advisory services, we support local communities to demonstrate that ending homelessness is possible.

Ultimately, we exist to prevent, reduce and end homelessness in Australia. We bring together individuals, community, business and governments to take action for an end to all homelessness in Australia.
