The AAEH understands that no single person, organisation, or government can tackle homelessness alone. It requires a collective effort including collaboration, data, and coordinated action across governments, as well as a diverse range of organisations and individuals.
With this in mind, we strive to bring together those who share a commitment to ending homelessness through a series of Allied Networks, which we directly support or work closely with. These networks unite practitioners, policymakers, academics, people with lived experience of homelessness, and leaders from both corporate and community sectors, spanning all industries.
Through these networks, we aim to foster greater collaboration, enhance best practices, and advocate for change. Simultaneously, we work to build an increased understanding of the complex and interconnected causes of homelessness while raising awareness of the fact that we can end it.
Find out more information about Allied Networks below, including ways you can get involved.
Australian Health, Housing & Homelessness Network (A3HN)
The Australian Health, Housing and Homelessness Network (A3HN) brings together experts, researchers, practitioners and people with lived experience of the three sectors to support each other’s efforts to end homelessness. By connecting a diverse range of participants from around the country, the network aims to better integrate policy, research and practice across the health, housing and homelessness sectors.
