In Australia there are over 116,000 people experiencing homelessness on any given night.
Homelessness Week is an annual event to raise awareness of the impact of homelessness in 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.
In the lead-up to and during Homelessness Week, individuals and organisations get involved by supporting campaigns, attending events and sharing messages to end homelessness.
We look forward to marking Homelessness Week 2024, from Monday August 5 to Sunday August 11. Watch this space for more information.
