Over 122,000 people in Australia will be homeless tonight. You just can't see them.
Many children and young people leave their family homes because they don’t feel safe. But you won’t find most young people sleeping rough on the streets. Instead, they’re out of sight, sleeping at shelters, on friends’ couches or in their cars. And they have no way to advocate for themselves or access food and healthcare.Â
Over 45,000 children and young people experience homelessness on any given night in Australia.1
Over 54,000 people experiencing homelessness every night are women.1
Only 6% of people experiencing homelessness sleep on the streets.2
Domestic and family violence is one of the leading causes of homelessness in Australia.3
1 in 3 people experiencing homelessness are children and young people. Help us end homelessness.
