Homelessness pauses every part of family life

Every family deserves the stability and safety of somewhere to call home. In Brisbane, we’ve seen a 65% increase in family homelessness in the past year. Micah Projects is here to help with crisis accommodation, meals and clothing and access to support services, but we also believe in setting up families to thrive in their new homes.

Help families press play as they move into permanent furnished homes.

Domestic and family violence is the leading cause of homelessness for women and children. Cost of living pressures and the housing crisis also contribute to family homelessness.

We’re currently supporting more than 150 families in crisis accommodation while waiting for permanent housing availability.

Please donate to help us supply suitable household essentials that can help make empty houses into family homes.

Our goal is to:

  1. Help secure housing for families that are currently living ‘on pause’ in crisis motel accommodation.
  2. Furnish these homes and help families move in, so they can have the best fresh start together.

You can play a crucial role in making this a reality.

Join us in pressing play on housing – donate today and be a part of this transformative journey!
