Anti-Poverty Week

Anti-Poverty Week aims to strengthen public understanding of the causes and consequences of poverty and hardship around the world and in Australia, and to encourage research, discussion and action to address these problems, including action by individuals, communities, organisations and governments.

There is a strong link between poverty and homelessness. Where people are unable to work, or do work but receive low or insecure incomes, they are often simply unable to afford housing in the private market.
