sleepbus

sleepbus is an Australian registered charity ending the need for people to sleep rough in Australia. We convert buses into safe, temporary overnight accommodation to get people off the street and keep them safe and healthy until they can get back on their feet. With the support of people like you, we can get people off the street and into a safe bed for the night. With a good nights sleep, we hope that the pathways out of homelessness will be a little easier to find and that's why we believe that sleep changes everything. At sleepbus we have a simple focus; provide safe, temporary overnight accommodation to those sleeping rough in Australia. Our accommodation is not a long term solution. What we do provide is a safe, temporary and comfortable place to sleep for the night. sleepbus is distinct, yet complementary to existing efforts from other organisations supporting Australians experiencing, or at risk of homelessness. Our work aims to fill a 'gap', rather than overlapping or replicating activities that support the urgent needs of people in Australia. There are 105,000 people homeless in Australia on any given night. Of those, 6,314 sleeping rough and 1,073 of those are under the age of 12. Providing a safe place to sleep for the night is the cornerstone of what sleepbus hopes will be a fundamental change in solving the problems, and expense, of people sleeping rough in our community. That's why sleepbus believes so passionately that "sleep changes everything"; because it makes the pathways out of homelessness easier to see.
