Synopsis

This book explores the complexities of homelessness in Australia—and the future policies likely to improve the situation. What is homelessness? Who counts as homeless? Whose responsibility is homelessness? In Homelessness in Australia, experts in the sector offer timely insights into the history, causes, and extent of homelessness in the country, and the future policy directions most likely to have a positive impact. Covering issues such as gender, Indigenous homelessness, family violence, young people, and the effects of trauma, the book aims to improve both the understanding of the complexities involved and the outcomes for those experiencing homelessness.
