HOMELESS IN AUSTRALIA, because so much of the country is RURAL are HIDDEN HOMELESS SLEEPING ROUGH. The new count August 9th, will reveal a higher number of people with no place to call home in the country.
EXCERPT:
Couch surfers in rural areas made up 40 per cent, while 55 per cent of people sleeping in overcrowded dwellings were also in rural locations, the ABC reports.
Candice Morrell from homeless charity Mission Australia said that homeless people in regional Australia 'can be less visible' and said the shortage of affordable housing was a 'crisis', especially during the cold ski season when low-cost accommodation is booked up.
