The reality of homelessness in Australia

More than 122,000 people experience homelessness on any given night.1
More than 17,000 of them are children under 12.1
1 in 7 people who are homeless are over the age of 55.1
Every hour, 3,000 Australians face becoming homeless.2

The cost of homelessness is simply unacceptable in a country like ours, but we can all do something about it.

Your generosity can provide families who are doing it tough, things we take for granted; warm shoes for winter.
