partner with us
We value all our partners and work closely with them to create mutually beneficial partnerships.
Impact
Corporate partnerships can make a deep impact in the lives of thousands of communities here in Australia and across the Asia Pacific region. We build and tailor partnerships with small and large organisations. Increasingly, stakeholders, employees and customers call for organisations to conduct their business in a socially and environmentally responsible manner while generating profits.
CSR
Corporate Social Responsibility and human resources’ initiatives build staff engagement, strengthen a company’s ties with communities and provide longevity through sustainable business practices. We also believe that we can achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by 2030 by partnering with organisations who want to make a meaningful and lasting difference.
Our goals
- To triple our funds, impact and scale by 2025.
- To become a household name so we can support more people into safe and decent shelter.
To be the first choice for volunteering.
-every partner can make a difference

Housing = Health
The World Health Organization says those living in poor conditions “are exposed to greater personal and environmental health risks, are less well nourished, have less information and are less able to access health care, thus they have a higher risk of illness and disability”
