About us

The team at StreetSmart believe everyone should have a safe and secure place to call home. Since 2003, we have an unrivalled track record of community engagement and activation to raise funds and awareness for smaller grassroots homeless services.

StreetSmart’s success is based on our ability to engage the broader community to support local responses to homelessness. Funds are raised through our innovative campaigns, engaging with 1000’s of small businesses and 100,000’s of people. With the funds raised, we seek out to support and partner with smaller, grassroots, homeless services through a unique, place based, collaborative community grants program. These smaller services are embedded in their communities, responding to gaps in service delivery with innovative programs. They struggle for support, and a voice, yet provide front line services to people in need.
