Ending homelessness is possible
We've come to think of homelessness, in particular people sleeping rough on the streets of our communities as normal, an inescapable part of everyday modern life. It is anything but. Homelessness is completely solvable, but it requires understanding the true nature of the problem and actually seeking to solve it, not just treating the symptoms of the problem. More and more communities around the world are ending homelessness and what they all have in common is not what you might think. Adelaide has been at the vanguard of Australian efforts to seek to end homelessness and at the heart of these efforts is one simple task.
