Launch Housing has an ambitious and singular mission to end homelessness. We aim to get people housed, keep them housed, and be an influential voice on ending homelessness.

We are a secular, independent provider of choice for clients and the go-to organisation on homelessness for government, media, philanthropy, private donors and the community. Launch Housing is a strong, single, focused voice on homelessness driven by the values of Empowerment, Fresh Thinking, Agility, Leadership, and Courage.

This program provides a response for people who are hard to reach, entrenched and who may have complex needs.

The candidate should also have demonstrated understanding of the principles of case management and housing service system and also demonstrated ability to build positive rapport with people from diverse backgrounds.
