What Are The Causes Of Homelessness In Australia?

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.
