We exist until
homelessness doesn't
That’s our purpose. And every month, we get a little closer.
122,000
PEOPLE IN AUSTRALIA ARE
CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS
That’s 1 in every 200 of us.
And here’s what most people don’t know:
94% of them are hidden. They’re on a friend’s couch. In a car, a refuge or completely untenable housing.
Hidden from view, hidden from the conversation, and largely hidden from the systems that are supposed to help them.
Homelessness in Australia is not just a street problem.
It’s a system problem. And it’s one we believe can be solved.
Here's what we've
come to realise
Homelessness is rarely a permanent state.
For most people, it’s a crisis point – a moment where the gap between where they are and where they need to be is measured not in years, but in dollars.
The answer, backed by research from around the world and now being proven here in Australia by Mobilise, is Direct Giving – getting money to people at the exact moment they need it.
It’s one of the most efficient, dignified and efficient interventions available.
That’s the insight at the heart of everything Mobilise does. And it’s why we’ve spent years building the infrastructure to deliver that support at scale, across the country, through our network of charity partners.
Infrastructure that
gets people home.
We are the funding and technology layer that works alongside the homelessness sector.
We’ve built a suite of technology products, alongside a national network of 50+ charity partners – organisations across every state and territory who work directly with people experiencing homelessness every day. When someone is ready to move into housing but doesn’t have the money for a bond, or is about to lose their home, their case manager refers them to Mobilise.
Our technology platform allows us to assess the referral, move the money – directly to the housing provider, often the same day.
Sounds simple? That’s the point.
