HPLS works to identify and reform systemic issues affecting people who are currently or who are at risk of homelessness. HPLS’ law reform work is based on the recognition of the human rights of people who are homeless, including their right to be involved in decision making processes that directly impact upon them. 

Projects currently being undertaken by HPLS include:

• Fines Reforms
• National Homelessness Persons Week
• Criminal Record Discrimination
• Violence and Trauma
• Human Rights
• Homelessness Legislation
• Mental Health Awareness
