Domestic and family violence is the leading cause of homelessness for women. Every year, thousands of women are returning to perpetrators or becoming homeless because there is nowhere affordable for them to live. Sign our petition today: everybodyshome.com.au/end-ho… #HW2024

"We can all experience homelessness, we’ve seen nurses, people who work in IT, council workers, doctors, engineers on the streets" says One Bridge founder, RN Sonia Martin, bringing a socialised model of healthcare to where vulnerable people need. bit.ly/4fqcCeL #HW2024

It breaks our hearts to see sector leaders like Emma from @NationalShelter & Kate from @HomelessnessAus undertake vital analytical, collaborative, conduit & systemic advocacy work on the national stage - with $0 funding from #Auspol in a #housingcrisis Platitudes don't pay bills

Without secure, sustainable funding from government to undertake our work National Shelter may be looking at a different form in 2025.

The futures of @HomelessnessAus and the Whitlam-era @NationalShelter are becoming more uncertain in a Coalition-era funding squeeze that, to the surprise of advocates, continues under Labor.

Failing to restore funding for @HomelessnessAus & @NationalShelter in the middle of a housing crisis risks losing key data & advocacy we need more than ever.
I urge govt to reconsider support to ensure they can survive & keep doing their invaluable work.
