Why we exist

The Constellation Project exists to identify and accelerate solutions to homelessness through cross-sector collaboration.

We exist to bring together corporates, governments, academia, philanthropists and not-for-profits. And to bring the voice of lived experience into the centre of our work.

How we work

Work in Constellation is supported by a dedicated core team. We use social labs to develop evidence-based practical solutions to homelessness that can be implemented and scaled in Australia. The voices of First Nations peoples and insights of people with lived experience of homelessness drive our work.

Solutions Hub

The Solutions Hub is where we discover and accelerate solutions to homelessness. Our role is to look for the gaps in all the work that is happening on homelessness and housing in Australia, to seek out the ideas that need development so they are ready for implementation.

chance of driving action on homelessness.
