A Home for All Foundation has secured over $1 million via the property sector’s A Night Without Home initiative, an October fundraiser aimed at addressing homelessness and housing instability—especially among victims of domestic and family violence.
In a recent fundraising initiative, Metricon Homes emerged as the top contributor, gathering nearly $60,000. Among the leading 20 teams were also LJ Hooker Foundation, Frasers Property, Jellis Craig, and Laing+Simmons.
Fundraising Efforts
More than 400 people across 57 teams participated in the campaign, which took place throughout October. Participants made donations, fundraised, or took part in activities such as couch surfing or sleeping in a car to raise awareness and funds.
Several firms, such as Metricon Homes, Frasers Property, and REA Group, organized overnight office stays for staff to engage in the campaign. Jellis Craig additionally designated A Home for All Foundation as a charitable partner during its Foundation Month. This foundation, established in 2025, is spearheaded by the real estate sector and supported by REA Group, aiming to increase awareness and finance enduring solutions for homelessness by collaborating with existing community support organizations across Australia.
Other teams in the top 20 included LJ Hooker Foundation ($47,920), Frasers Property ($37,088), Jellis Craig ($27,000), Laing+Simmons ($17,132), Ray White NSW ($11,648), Real Estate Institute of Victoria ($10,250), Real Estate Institute of the Northern Territory ($9,000), Real Estate Institute of Australia ($8,945), OC Real Estate ($6,526) and Ray White Upper Blue Mountains ($6,130).

Funds collected from the previous year’s initiative are now being distributed to frontline organizations through the Foundation’s affiliated charities. These resources have already facilitated direct aid to numerous individuals via housing initiatives and legal support.
Through its Sanctuary program, Friends with Dignity has assisted 496 individuals, completed 52 Sanctuary homes, and addressed 109 urgent needs. Meanwhile, Women’s Community Shelters’ Aurora Place has offered 3,576 safe nights of accommodation, benefiting 143 adults and 37 children.
Justice Connect has ensured 30 women and children remain safely housed by providing combined legal and social work assistance. Their Women’s Homelessness Prevention Program has educated over 4,000 tenants facing domestic violence about their legal rights, enabling them to make informed decisions regarding their housing situations.
The proceeds from the previous year’s campaign are now being channeled to frontline organizations through the Foundation’s 2026 charity partners, highlighting the concrete results of the real estate sector’s efforts to combat homelessness and housing instability.
