Good stabilises
Everyone deserves an affordable and safe home. It is a fundamental human right. We are dedicated to addressing challenges that can cause people to face homelessness - whether they are single, part of a family, children, teenagers, young or elderly adults.
The St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria's homelessness services offer comprehensive support to prevent vulnerable individuals from experiencing homelessness. With “wrap-around” assistance and programs, we address the root causes of homelessness and provide ongoing care to help people rebuild their lives.

Ways you can help

Vinnies CEO Sleepout
#DriveTheChange
The St Vincent de Paul Society's annual flagship fundraising event is held in June to support our good works and homelessness services. CEOs, business and community leaders sleep out on one of the coldest nights of the year to gain just a small insight into what people experiencing homelessness deal with every night. You can be part of this event and help us raise awareness and funds for our services.

Winter Appeal
You can donate to our annual Winter Appeal to raise much-needed funds to support the Society's homelessness services. This year your gift will assist vulnerable people like sisters, Abigail and Isabella who were caught in a life of housing instability, homelessness and neglect. Abigail and Isabella grew up in a volatile household that was ultimately upended when their parents separated. They stayed with their mother who moved interstate but their situation did not improve with isolation from family and friends, housing instability and anxiety levels rising. They decided to returned and live with their father but endured an overcrowded apartment with no respite from the trauma. Eventually the sisters went out on their own and were accepted for temporary accommodation which put them in touch with Vinnies. Since then the sisters' life have stabilised and keeps getting better.
Drive the change

Meet David
David never imagined becoming homeless. He didn’t envision how one hitch could lead to so many things coming undone so quickly.

Meet Abigail & Isabella
Stability was one of the things Abigail and Isabella were looking for and found because of Vinnies.

Meet Rick
Following his divorce and health issues Rick was alone and found himself living in an old caravan, 25 kilometres from the nearest town.

Meet Bec
Escaping from her violent home, Bec left and found herself living in her car. By chance she found food and support from our volunteers.
