Adelaide initiatives to end homelessness have received international recognition. The Australian Alliance to End Homelessness’ Advance to Zero initiative has been awarded a prestigious World Habitat Award, presented annually in partnership with UN-Habitat. The Adelaide Zero Project – the first Advance to Zero initiative in Australia to commit to achieving functional zero rough sleeping homelessness – and the recently launched Port Adelaide Enfield Zero Project are the two initiatives in SA that have been recognised as part of this global award. Adelaide Zero began as an initiative of the Don Dunstan Foundation under a previous executive director, David Pearson, who now heads up the Australian Alliance to End Homelessness. “Winning a World Habitat Award is an incredible honour for the Advance to Zero movement,” David said. “It shines a global spotlight on our efforts to end homelessness, starting with rough sleeping. This recognition will inspire hope, encourage the local communities doing this hard work and reinforce that homelessness can be ended in Australia.” You can check out the Don Dunstan Foundation’s past work on the Adelaide Zero Project in our resource library Learn More |
