Beyond Housing

Our 2023-2024 Annual Report highlights A Year of Impact, demonstrating how we’ve worked tirelessly to expand housing developments, strengthen community ties, and support people in need. Every step taken this year has been guided by our commitment to making homelessness rare, brief, and, non-recurring.

Today marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the start of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. In 2023/24, 348 people (13%) we supported sought help due to family violence. Everyone deserves to be safe, equal and respected. But right now in Australia, that isn’t the reality. More than 1 in 3 women have experienced men’s violence. Not all disrespect leads to violence against women – but all violence against women begins with disrespect. All of us have the power to change that by respecting women wherever we live, learn, work and play. Join the 16 Days of Activism and help build communities where women are safe and equal. It all starts with respect. To learn more about 16 Days of Activism visit: https://bit.ly/3XiwbNU #16Days #16DaysOfActivism

Liz, a beloved schoolteacher and university lecturer, faced unimaginable challenges when a traumatic event left her without a home. She found herself sleeping in her car and scavenging for food, isolated from the community she once thrived in. But Liz’s story is one of hope and resilience. Today, with the right support, she’s rebuilding her life and reconnecting with her community. Watch Liz's story here 👉 bit.ly/BH-LizsStory

As we continue to recognise World Homeless Day, we’re proud to reflect on the impact we’ve made at Beyond Housing. Over the past year, we’ve supported more than 3,000 individuals across the Ovens Murray and Goulburn regions—people who were either facing homelessness or at risk of it. Homelessness affects people from all walks of life, and each story is unique. But the solution remains the same: Housing ends homelessness. The top causes include: 👉 Housing crises 👉 Family violence 👉 Housing affordability stress People experiencing homelessness often face multiple and complex needs, and we are seeing growing numbers of younger and older Australians without a safe, stable home. Demand for services continues to rise, and it’s clear: we need more social and affordable housing to help those most vulnerable in our communities. Let’s raise awareness today and work towards creating real, lasting change. Home. Not homeless. #WorldHomelessDay #BeyondHousing #HomeNotHomeless #AffordableHousing #HousingEndsHomelessness

This year, World Homeless Day coincides with World Mental Health Day on 10 October, highlighting the significant intersection between homelessness and mental health. Research shows that homelessness can both result from and contribute to mental health challenges, creating a cycle that demands comprehensive solutions. Addressing homelessness requires a holistic approach that includes mental health support, affordable housing, and community integration. By focusing on these areas, we can break the cycle and build a more inclusive society. Join us in raising awareness and advocating for solutions that create lasting change. Home. Not homeless. Together, we can make it happen. #WorldHomelessDay #BeyondHousing #HomeNotHomeless
