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.
In April 2024, Constellation merged with the Australian Alliance to End Homelessness (AAEH), unlocking a multitude of opportunities to enhance our collective impact and strengthen our commitment to ending homelessness.
As a merged organisation, we remain committed to centring the knowledge, perspectives and needs of people with lived and living experiences of homelessness, while ensuring a collaborative, cross-sector approach. This includes engaging business in solving homelessness and having First Nations peoples’ insights and leadership cut across all of our work.
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.
But we don't do it alone
Our work would not be possible without our dedicated network.
