🌟 Did you know that only 18% of people experiencing homelessness are chronically homeless, meaning they’ve been without a home for three or more years? 🌟 Most people have a default image in their minds of a homeless person, often picturing someone who is chronically homeless. However, this represents only a small portion of those experiencing homelessness. The majority are in need of a temporary helping hand to get back on their feet. At Homeless ID Project, we provide essential identification documents that open doors to housing, employment, and vital services. Every ID we issue is a step toward ending homelessness for good. We are hard at work with our partners at Keys to Change to get people documents and housing to end their homelessness! Join us in empowering lives and creating lasting change. 💪❤️ #HomelessIDProject #EndHomelessness #EmpowerLives #MakeADifference #CommunitySupport #IdentityMatters #GiveIDHope #HomelessEmpowerment #IDSupport #SupportHIDP #NonProfit #Charity #Community #Donate #NonProfitOrganization #Volunteer #GiveBack #Support #Fundraising #SocialGood #DoGood #Change #Help #CollarborationIs🔑

🚨 Homelessness Hidden in Plain Sight: Unpacking the Invisible Crisis 🚨 Homelessness isn't always what we think it is., it's not the person on the street corner but the unnoticed struggle of those around us. A close friend recently revealed that he had spent several months couch-surfing after losing his job, a reality he had hidden while maintaining his professional demeanor online. Here's what surprised me: Many homeless individuals hold jobs yet can't afford housing. Families with children are one of the fastest-growing homeless populations. Homelessness can often result from unexpected events like medical emergencies or family crises. We must shift our perspective and recognize that homelessness can affect anyone, even those we consider our peers or colleagues. 💡 How can we, as professionals, help make a difference? Let's start the conversation. Share your thoughts, experiences, or initiatives you've seen work. Together, we can bring this hidden crisis into the light. 🌟 Call to Action If you want to make a difference, consider donating to SAGAesc.org or volunteering with our organizations that support those experiencing homelessness. Let's work together to uncover and address homelessness hid. #Homelessness #SharingOnWheels#InvisibleStruggles #SocialImpact #ProfessionalAwareness #HumanityFirst

Top Tip #9: Support homeless shelters Often, it can be difficult to determine the right type of help and support to provide to those who are homeless. If you are wanting to provide support to the homeless in your community, consider helping your local shelters, who can provide direct support to homeless individuals. If you are wanting to make a difference to those sleeping rough in your community, why not get in touch with your local shelter to see what’s needed and how you can get involved?

Did you know that over 38,000 young people aged 15–24 years presented alone to a homelessness service in 2022–23? Of these young people, almost half experienced mental ill-health, and over one-third experienced domestic and family violence. Most of these young people needed short- or long-term accommodation, and most were turned away due to a lack of capacity. These statistics only scratch the surface of issues that young people experiencing homelessness face. To have statistics like this in a country like Australia is not acceptable; together, we can have a tangible impact, and now is the time to act. #wehavetodobetter #YHMD

This is a shocking statistic for a country as privileged as Australia. If you do one thing today, please sign the petition to develop a national strategy to address child and youth homelessness in Australia - https://ow.ly/TEoa50RfTqj. Oh, and one more thing, you can also help vulnerable young people by signing up to Step by Step: The 46km Challenge, which is an easy way to get involved this May - https://lnkd.in/g8erzpyB.
