The festive season is traditionally a time of love, warmth and family, but too many young Australian’s are living rough on the streets, couch surfing, or sleeping in their cars …  isolated and alone.

At the Property Industry Foundation, we believe every young person deserves to feel safe and secure in a place they can call home. It’s the best way for them to put down roots and stabilise their lives with community, education and employment.

“This holiday season, we invite the property and construction industry to join us in creating a brighter year ahead for homeless youth through our Giving Tree for Homeless Youth. By providing safe, secure living environments, we help vulnerable youth break the cycle of homelessness and rebuild their lives. Together, we can change lives and build brighter futures for homeless youth across Australia. Your generosity helps create lasting change.”
