N2 - On Census night 2006, almost 105,000 people were homeless in Australia, an increase of almost five per cent over the preceding five year period. In 2008, the Australian Government set out a national approach to reducing homelessness, with headline targets of halving overall homelessness and offering supported accommodation to all rough sleepers who need it by 2020, along with a range of sub-targets (Commonwealth of Australia, 2008). Mission Australia has been supporting people experiencing homelessness since the middle of the nineteenth century. As a major national not-for-profit agency, Mission Australia has long sought to develop innovative responses to emerging social issues. With the benefit of a philanthropic donation, Mission Australia developed an innovative service pilot project, the Michael Project (2007-2010), to work towards better outcomes with men experiencing homelessness in the Sydney metropolitan region.
