ABOUT
Who We Are
Our story
The Constellation Project has been rooted in multi-sector collaboration since conception.
In 2018, Australian Red Cross, the Centre for Social Impact, Mission Australia and PwC Australia joined forces around the idea that if they all worked together and pooled their diverse skills, experience and reach around housing affordability and homelessness, they would have the right recipe for creating smart solutions that could achieve lasting change.
This way of working led to a social lab process that began in 2018 bringing together over 100 people from across the not for profit (NFP) sector, business, government together with people who had lived experience of homelessness to explore the homelessness and housing landscape and identify practical solutions to progress.
Now as an independent entity, Constellation remains committed to our vision of driving multi-sector collaboration with those directly impacted by homelessness to deliver smart solutions.
Our mission
Homelessness can’t be solved with blankets and temporary fixes. The Constellation Project seeks to end homelessness within a generation by working together.
In 2024, the Constellation Project took the next step in its strategic evolution by merging with the Australian Alliance to End Homelessness. The merger offered both organisations a unique opportunity to harness each other’s distinct skills and resources, significantly amplifying their impact on the housing and homelessness crisis in Australia.
