🏠 This week is Homelessness Week 2024. Did you know that the main reason people seek homelessness support is because of issues with their housing and finance, closely followed by family and domestic violence?
👉 On any given night, 122,494 people in Australia are experiencing homelessness.
👉 In 2022-23, over 273,600 people were assisted by homelessness service, but 108,000 people were turned away.
👉 That equals 295 people a day being turned away because services are overstretched.
👉 80% of those being turned away were women and children, many of whom are fleeing family and domestic violence.
