Homelessness Week 2020
Homelessness Week 2020
It is Homelessness Week, and we are being reminded that currently 405,000 Australian women over 55 are at risk of becoming homeless. Today saw the launch of two reports into homelessness – both excellent, but heart-wrenching.
The first is called “At Risk: Understanding the population size and demographics of older women at risk of homelessness in Australia”
The other is “Older Women in the Private Rental Sector: Unaffordable, Substandard and Insecure Housing“

The Victims Rights Commissioner has proposed changes to Victims Support which will deny victims-survivors of crime the supports they have a right to and need. We call on the Commissioner and the Attorney General to stop proposed Victims Support changes and start victim-survivor led review.
