As part of our campaign in the Homelessness Week 2016, HAAG members and staffs took to the streets of Melbourne to highlight the issue of hidden homelessness. Older women are the fastest growing group of homeless people; we are seeing a huge surge in the numbers of women accessing our service due to issues around poverty and housing affordability, and for this reason we call on the government to build more public housing. Thanks to everyone who braved the cold and wet of a wintery Melbourne day to support our cause.
HAAG hosted the launch of our new report on the 26th July at the Multicultural Hub on Elizabeth St in the city. We had a good attendance of about 40 people.
"There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort."
