Who are the hidden homeless?
Did you know only 7% of people experiencing homelessness are sleeping rough on our streets1? Hidden Homelessness can happen to anyone, through no fault of their own. Illness, job loss or domestic violence can mean people end up homeless. To survive they live in their cars, a garage or other temporary, often insecure accommodation. They are Australia’s hidden homeless.
Together, we supported 147,913 Australians on their journey towards independence last year.
