Support Families in Crisis

Help us raise $23,000 for 100 nights of motel accommodation for Brisbane families in crisis — and advocate for long-term housing solutions.

Sponsor a night of shelter

Every night, families across Brisbane are forced into motels — not by choice, but because there’s nowhere else to go. Micah Projects is supporting 260+ families, including 500+ children, in crisis accommodation right now. 

Help fund a temporary roof for local families who don’t have a home.

$230 gives a night of shelter

We need your help

It takes a community — as part of ours, please help families without a home tonight. 

Street homelessness is visible, but most families experiencing homelessness are hidden — living in cars, couch surfing, or staying in motels they can’t afford. 

We stand with community that values justice, equity and believes everyone has a right to a home.

Sharing the facts

Real change starts with real conversations, and we need you as a community advocate.

Brisbane is facing a growing homelessness crisis, worsened by a lack of affordable housing and an overwhelmed social housing system. 

People are being priced out of rentals and left without options. Families, children, and vulnerable individuals are paying the price.

Homelessness is a justice issue — everyone deserves a safe place to live.
