About the organisation
We believe that street sleeping can be ended; that no-one should be sleeping in the streets of Sydney, or any community in NSW, tonight or on any night.
In February 2019, in a landmark step, the NSW Government, the City of Sydney, and leading homelessness charities joined 13 other cities in a partnership with the Institute of Global Homelessness, joining a global movement to end street sleeping, signing a Memorandum of Understanding to reduce street homelessness by 50% across NSW by 2025.
The End Street Sleeping Collaboration Ltd will be working with local communities, people with lived experience of homelessness, government agencies and charities across NSW in a growing collaborative effort to reduce street sleeping by 2025 and work towards ending street sleeping by 2030.
