#worldhomelessday today. We need clear, decisive action and leadership on this crisis. Federal Govt need to listening to our City mayors... and step up https://t.co/3BafxyewFX
It's a sad indictment on our society and a #HomelessTruth
that homelessness contributes to poor mental health and despite this knowledge, our system doesn't adequately support people long term. A quality homelessness response is about more than providing more than a roof.
So, here's a #HomelessTruth that strikes at the heart of our current homelessness crisis. Come on decision makers! #RaisetheRate and help the economy that you're so deeply invested in..
Andrew Edgar, @CHPVic. Homelessness is a gendered issue. Women over 55yrs are the fastest growing demographic in the homelessness sector. Structural causes? Inequitable superannuation, gender pay gap, reliance on male partner for welfare #PVAWUnderTheRadar@CHPVic
Thanks Emma King and staff from @VCOSS for coming to Bendigo and consulting with community sector representatives about Service Agreement renegotiations. Helping to keep #ruralhomelessness on the agenda. 😀
Yesterday, LMHnetwork hosted staff from Swinburne University @CUTransitions to consult with local service providers around homeless services system support for families. Well done to all participants for supporting #regionalhomelessnessadvocacy .
