What is the event?
SleepOut for Homeless Youth is a charity fundraising event taking place overnight from Thursday 10 April to Friday 11 April 2025. The event sees participants sleep overnight at Musgrave Picnic Site, raising money and awareness for the Property Industry’s Sleepout for Homeless Youth. The funds raised from the Sydney SleepOut directly support the Property Industry Foundation's Haven House Program, and programs specifically like, Haven House South Dowling. A brand new project which will provide over 346,000 safe nights of sleep for young people over the next 50 years.
Haven House South Dowling will not only provide shelter but also access to education, food, and safety, empowering young people with the opportunities they deserve for a second chance at life.
