Women’s Housing Needs in Regional Australia: Summary Report

Abstract

From the Chair of YWCA National Housing:

On behalf of YWCA National Housing and with the support of YWCA Australia, I am proud to present this report ‘Women’s Housing Needs in Regional Australia’.

Our research found that one in eight women living on low to moderate incomes in regional Australia had been homeless in the past five years.

This is a shocking mirror to too many Australian women’s lives. Together, now, we have a unique opportunity. We have already proven across Australia, that a cross sectional approach during a global health pandemic, can help to solve homelessness.
