I’m grateful for the support of the community, government & those who have championed our first Youth Foyer. There's a shortage of affordable supported housing for young people in regional Aus. That’s why we're thrilled to have opened Mission Australia's Townsville Youth Foyer!

Homelessness is not inevitable; it is solvable. We can end homelessness if there is action, plans and commitment across sectors. This #HomelessnessWeek, read my thoughts on how we can create an Australia where homelessness is truly a thing of the past. missionaustralia.com.au/media-centre/o…

"Without urgent action, more people across Aust will be left behind & at risk of homelessness. We call for an increase in JobSeeker & other income support to $82 a day + 60% boost to the maximum threshold of Commonwealth Rent Assistance."
