In this episode, Tracey and Dan are joined by David Pearson, the CEO of the Australian Alliance to End Homelessness, which as the name suggests, is an organisation dedicated to ending homelessness in Australia. It is a collaboration of different organisations to end homelessness, starting with helping the most vulnerable group of people in the community. David talked about how he and his team are using innovation and impact measurement techniques to achieve their ambitious goal.


Here is a taste of what Tracey, Dan, and David cover in the conversation:

  • The importance of gathering data regarding the homelessness population
  • How to build rapport in the community to gain their trust to alleviate their worries so that the population will be willing to participate
  • What are the conditions for success in ending homelessness?
  • How do you measure the impact to ensure if the organisation has achieved its goal?
  • David talked about how to make things that are well known in the innovation community more integrated into the homelessness system.
