The 2020 Homelessness Week theme is ‘Everybody needs a home’, aiming to highlight the importance of having a home to stay healthy and well in following the devastating impacts of the bush fires and COVID-19 pandemic. Advocacy and activism for those who have lost their homes is a focus this year, along with the ongoing ‘Everybody’s Home Campaign’.

“On any given night in Australia 1 in 200 people are homeless.”

Homelessness Australia provides information sheets and resources to support events all around Australia. This is an important opportunity to recognise the prevalent homelessness issue within the Australian community.

To get involved this August:

• Raise awareness on social media
• Inform the community by spreading information sheets
• Organise a fundraiser
