This week is Homelessness Week 2022
Did you know that women over 50 are the fastest-growing cohort experiencing homelessness in Australia? Homelessness awareness among Australians is key to driving change.
We need a national plan
In Australia there are over 116,000 people experiencing homelessness on any given night. Homelessness Week aims to raise awareness of the impact of homelessness on Australia via national and local community events, including providing information on the importance of housing as a solution and educating communities on how they can make a difference.
Sadly, Northern Beaches Wellness Services (NBWS) turns away on average 13 women per month as we are constantly working at capacity. If we can raise more funds and access more accommodation, we can help more women and reduce homelessness on the Northern Beaches.
