50, 200, 400, 800, 1000, 1300… how to measure the impact of REA Group’s partnership with the National Rapid Rehousing Fund
The lack of affordable housing, the increase in homelessness, families deeply affected by domestic violence – these are stories we read about every day in the media, that we often feel powerless to do anything about. Everyone deserves a safe place to sleep at night and a place they can call home. At REA Group, we decided to do something about that and a bit over 2 years ago partnered with Launch Housing to create a National Rapid Rehousing Fund.
The financial support we give goes to help women and children at risk of or experiencing homelessness as a result of domestic violence – the number one cause of homelessness among women and children in Australia. This support has reached more than 1350 women and children. Sometimes we hear from the women whose lives have been changed through this support; it's humbling and grounding to see what a difference a small sum of money can make at a time in their lives when they are so vulnerable and alone. In this video, Rachael shares with us how the support helped change the course of her life.
Our values remind us every day of the meaning we get from our work when we “Do it with heart’. This partnership is our way of showing how, as a company, we try to do the same thing for others less fortunate.
