In an increasingly cashless society, some people without housing are being left behind

Abstract

Melbourne rough sleeper Morgan has spent years getting by with the help of cash donations from strangers, allowing him to get what he needs when he needs it. 

Some people experiencing homelessness still use cash to get by and pay for necessities, support services say. The number of Australians who use cash has halved since COVID-19.

There are calls to decriminalise “begging” and provide more support to help rough sleepers.
