In preparation for Homelessness Week (3rd - 9th August 2026), dozens of Victoria’s leading community organisations are coming together to raise awareness about the urgent need for more social and public housing in Victoria.
Rather than the display at Parliament House, this year the focus is on awareness raising in our local communities: encouraging displays within schools, libraries, local business, local government, housing services and peoples homes.
We need your help to fold 60,000 origami houses (representing the number of additional social homes needed to meet current need in Victoria), and display them for Homelessness Week.
At the last Census, 30,660 Victorians were without a home (including 6,800 children) – that’s 27 per cent of Australia’s total (112,494).
Homelessness Week aims to raise awareness of the impact of homelessness, the solutions needed to end homelessness .
​
Homelessness Week 2026 will take place from Monday August 3rd to Sunday August 9th
