Child and youth homelessness in Australia is real, and is not going away.

The National Children and Youth Homelessness conference hosted by @YDA_Australia saw a groundswell of commitment to end child and youth homelessness.

Exciting news today that NSW Govt will extend care to 21yrs for young people in OOHC. Now it’s time for a National Child and Youth Homelessness Pan to give them the extended support they need on leaving care. #endyouthhomelessness https://t.co/YCcWL4BJET

This week’s @4corners detailed stories of local services in northern NSW handing out tents to those experiencing homelessness due to the lack of accommodation available. We heard similar stories at our Regional Youth Homelessness Forums. Report here: https://t.co/x8QZiV7YwR

Congrats to @NCOSS and @DVNSW for this latest report estimating the $3 billion cost to the NSW economy of domestic and family violence. Read the report here:

[NCOSS @_NCOSS_]

100,000 women in NSW experienced domestic violence in 2020. NCOSS CEO Joanna Quilty & @DV_NSW Interim CEO Elise Phillips today told @smh more investment is needed in #socialhousing & DFV support services to keep women safe. Report here: https://t.co/PTylmv5U0C

NSW Govt spends $713,940 p/a to hold a child in youth detention, including those detained under Sect 28 of the Bail Act simply because they are homeless and cannot provide an appropriate bail address. It's time to #RaiseTheAge of criminal responsibility. https://t.co/lOmMfgiY3x
