Over 160,000 people turned away from crisis accommodation

Abstract

Australia’s crisis accommodation sector is in crisis, with more than 160,000 people experiencing or at risk of homelessness seeking shelter from Specialist Homelessness Services and many turned away.

According to new research from AHURI, there is a range of gaps in the availability and the quality of crisis accommodation in Australia and an urgent need to improve exit options to longer term accommodation.
