Observation of the plight of homeless people
Men women,and children
Internationally and here within Australia
Sydney alone has 30,000 people homeless only small percentage will be lucky
enough to get a bed in a hostel or such on any given night.
Investment in resources to minimise homelessness.
Here in my country town Mission Australia runs a service called wagga youth connections, supporting young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness
to break the cycle of drug or alcohol dependence , family breakdowns ,leading into
older age ongoing homelessness.
Shelters and homes do also house older homeless people from my country town.
Seeing them wandering around the streets ,does make you feel very lucky to have a roof
over your head, and to have a bed to sleep in at night , whether it be summer
or a cold winters night.
