We all need a place to call home, and while some are lucky enough to accomodate architectually designed abodes, some less fortunate members of our society are forced to call the streets their home.

Today in Martin Place, Sydney, the Federal Minister for Housing launched ’Houses for the Homeless’ – a national fundraising campaign, run in association with realestate.com.au and Mission Australia.

250 cardboard houses have been set up in the Martin Place location, loosely representing the large and frightening number of homeless people in our country.

Click here to support the cause. For every click, realestate.com.au will donate $1.
