The ongoing homelessness crisis in Australia is a complex social problem with multiple causes. Such problems are very difficult to resolve. There’s no simple solution – no “silver bullet”.
Homelessness Week (August 5-11) briefly brings the issue to the public’s attention. A week later, the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute is holding the Australian Homelessness Conference.
This activity is taking place in the lead-up to a new National Housing and Homelessness Plan. The Albanese government has promised to deliver this ten-year strategy by the end of 2024.
