Our outreach program exists to help those people who are sleeping rough in the Ipswich area. Sleeping rough could be anything from couch surfing, sleeping in a car, or out on the streets. This program goes out into the community and delivers essential items and warm clothing and bedding to those who are living under these conditions.
The government’s trying to tackle homelessness, but it’s a huge issue. Our community really needs to pitch in and work together to find a solution.
In Australia, anyone can experience homelessness—kids, adults, and families from all kinds of backgrounds. Many people don’t realize how big of a problem it is in their communities.
Every night, according to the Human Rights Commission, about 1 in 200 Australians have nowhere safe or affordable to sleep.
A home isn’t just a house—it’s a place where people feel safe and secure. Everyone deserves a safe place to live.
