Reasons for seeking support
Being homeless is not a choice. It can and does happen to anyone.
Increased costs of living, a lack of affordable housing, and the impact of domestic and family violence can all be factors contributing to Australia’s housing and homelessness crisis.
Since 2020, there have been significant increases that have contributed to Australia’s housing and homelessness crisis. Across the country, 122,000 people experiencing homelessness in Australia every night. This uncomfortable challenge is an unfortunate reality for many Australians. But not if we work together to change it.
