About Us

Homelessness

Homelessness is not just about not having a roof over one's head, it has clearly demonstrable consequences such as poverty, ill-health, inadequate education of children and behavioural problems. With the shortage of affordable rental properties and the increased cost of living, more and more of our community face homelessness or live with the fear of becoming homeless.
