Ending homelessness in Australia
Every night more than 116,000 people in Australia are homeless, often hidden from view, as a result of many complex factors:
- 45% lack of housing
- 26% escaping family violence
- 12% money/income issues
- 8% relationship/family breakdowns
The consequences of homelessness can be detrimental to a person’s physical and mental health, social status, and often accompanied with significant economic costs to the community.
