About us

 
"The real issue is not homelessness... the real issue is "What are we doing about it...?"

We are redefining the war on homelessness

Founded in 2004, The Solution Network Australia Foundation (Solutions) is committed to the long-term eradication of youth homelessness.

Research has shown that this will be achieved through a generational process of community strengthening and youth engagement. We are therefore focused on collaborative, non-competitive, community-based initiatives that utilise existing resources and community strengths.

Solutions has established a perpetual charitable fund, The Solution Network Australia Foundation, to advance the position of young people in Australia.

Solutions has embarked on a mission to eradicate youth homeless, and in doing so we must deal with the underlying causes of homelessness.

We see this solution coming from the community as a whole.

"Our vision is to harness community strengths and resources, and make them available to all, by going to where the 'problems' are and not waiting for the 'problem' to come to us. We can make a difference. We can do it Together."
