Entry Description

The Homeless Project, a registered charity in suburban Melbourne, is on a mission to provide safe, affordable housing for those facing housing insecurity. By dedicating 100% of donations to this cause, the charity has had limited capacity for growth. This project proposes a refreshed brand identity, an impactful, low-cost marketing campaign, and a streamlined website to clearly communicate the charity’s impact on the community and encourage further support.
