Encouraging South Australians to face the reality and develop a whole of community response to homelessness    

HomelessnessSA is a statewide organisation that has a growing membership, including a wide range of organisations, services, and individuals who have an interest in homelessness.  HomelessnessSA seeks to be inclusive, and encourages the participation of people who have experienced homelessness.  HomelessnessSA invites everyone  with skills, knowledge or interest  in the area to join together to work on the broader issues that are intertwined with homelessness.  

HomelessnessSA advocates strongly that homelessness is not simply about shelter; it is about people who live on the margins, and allowing them to join us and share in all the things that most Australians take for granted.  It is about breaking down fear and prejudice, and having the will to do what is right.

Rising rents, family breakdown and the economic downturn have pushed more older women into the ranks of the homeless. Women over the age of 45 are now out-numbering older men at government-funded homeless shelters according to official data, even though there are more homeless older men than women.>>more
