Australia’s cost of living and housing crises are leading to an increase in people experiencing homelessness across the country.

Homelessness Australia has revealed the number of people who are rough sleeping and subsequently reaching out for help has increased by 20 per cent. 

 They also record that services can  provide help to some individuals but almost 300 people a day who reach out receive no help.
