The Vinnies CEO Sleepout will return for 2022 with a hybrid event that will see "business and community leaders brave the cold and lead the way out of homelessness".

The event was officially launched in Canberra on Wendesday, April 27, by the St Vincent de Paul Society Canberra/Goulburn.

Michelle Colefax, acting CEO of St Vincent de Paul Society Canberra/Goulburn said homelessness was a "complex issue".

"In the past our community has been impacted with a range of challenges including housing affordability, natural disasters, the pandemic, and more," she said.

"We've seen an increase in demand for our services and the need for funds to be raised through the Sleepout has never been greater."

The 2022 Vinnies CEO sleepout will be a hybrid in-person and online event where people can participate in different ways and make a positive impact in the community by raising funds for Vinnies.

More than a hundred CEOs and business owners, community and government leaders will sleep outdoors or in their cars at The National Portrait Gallery on June 23, 2022.

"We will also have participants attending the event virtually from all across the Canberra/Goulburn Archdiocese," Ms Colefax said.

"They will join the live-stream and sleep out in their cars, backyards or on their couches. All these places reflect the reality of people experiencing homelessness."

Vinnies aims to raise $800,000 this year to support the delivery of services across the region to help "break the cycle of poverty and homelessness".

They are now encourage business and community leaders from the Bega Valley and Eurobodalla to register for the event and join the live stream on the night.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn more about the issues and meet with a range of services Vinnies delivers to support those at risk or living with homelessness themselves.
