Property group Lendlease has launched a program to help not-for-profit organisations provide solutions to housing stress and homelessness.
Coinciding with the start of Homelessness Week on Monday, Lendlease has called for organisations to apply for a grant under its FutureSteps program.
Through a combination of grants up to $200,000, Lendlease will look to help disadvantaged people by partnering with established not-for-profit organisations to boost the availability of quality accommodation and support services in the community, and by investing in training and jobs programs.
The grants will be open to organisations which are committed to directly increasing the supply of accommodation for individuals or families experiencing homelessness or housing stress in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.
Since its establishment in December 2018, FutureSteps has already provided more than $300,000 in grants across Victoria and New South Wales.
Property Australia chief executive Kylie Rampa, who is also chair of the FutureSteps Advisory Committee, said: “The purpose of FutureSteps is to help vulnerable people and families experiencing homelessness and housing stress to build a brighter future.
“With the values of sustainability and collaboration at its core, FutureSteps will foster long-term relationships with grant recipients, providing the resources and skills needed to build an organisation’s capacity for a lasting impact.”
The Lendlease FutureSteps grant program will be open for applications until August 28.
