The initiative sought to highlight the pressing need for at least 60,000 more social housing homes in Victoria.
The campaign showcased 6000 origami houses on the Parliament House steps, representing just 10 per cent of the actual requirement.
Speakers included Council to Homeless Persons CEO Deborah Di Natale, Victorian Homelessness Network MC Rhonda Collins, lived experience advocate Jason Russell, and Victorian Water, Regional Development and Equality Minister Harriet Shing.
“Thirty-thousand Victorians, every night, are experiencing homelessness," Ms Di Natale said.
“People who are in full-time employment for the first time ever are seeking the support of homelessness services — it's gone up 14 per cent.
“That means that there are 12,000 Victorians in employment who are really at the cusp of being able to keep a roof over their heads.”
The Bridge program manager Renae Ford emphasised the significance of their involvement.
“It was important for us at The Bridge to be a part of the advocacy to end homelessness and for us to represent the young people we support in the Goulburn region of Victoria,” Ms Ford said.
As part of the initiative, Victorian homelessness services will display origami house exhibits at their offices.
The statewide count of folded origami houses currently stands at 66,123.
