Why this partnership matters
The Victorian Homeless Fund brings together land, donors and industry partners to create quality homes for people facing homelessness, with a strong focus on women and children escaping family violence and hardship.
We’re proud to support that mission by building homes alongside trades and suppliers who donate materials, labour and expertise, often at heavy discounts or completely free of charge.
Every partner on this page has helped make these builds possible.

Our journey so far

Together with our dedicated trade and supplier partners, we are building on a legacy of compassion, community and care to provide long-term housing solutions for those who need them most.
“Giving back like this is at the heart of why we do what we do. Every home we help bring to life is a chance to make a positive impact, and we’re grateful to everyone who joins us in making that happen.”
Simon Dunstan, Director, SJD Homes
