1. Introduction
Homelessness is a major problem in today’s society and I am writing this to provide information on the subject. Homelessness is when people young and old all over the world don’t have a home to go to at night or at all, but being homeless doesn’t always mean sleeping rough in a park or on the side of the road. In my report I will have information on, homelessness in Australia , why people are homeless, people likely to become homeless , effects of homelessness.There are 3 types of homelessness, primary homelessness, secondary homelessness and tertiary homelessness.
1.1 Primary Homelessness
Primary Homelessness when people don’t have conventional accommodation for example sleeping rough or in dwelling like sleeping in cars. …show more content…
Homelessness in Australia
2.1 Where Is It A Major Problem
The state with the highest precent of homelessness is NSW being 27% followed by Victoria. The age group that has the most homeless people for both states is 25-34. It is a major problem because they don’t do anything about homeless people.
2.2 Where Homeless People Stay/Live
People who are homeless don’t always live on the street or live rough I did a personal survey and 90% of the people I surveyed believe that homeless people only live on the streets. Statistics show where people stay
• 44% of Homeless people stay temporarily with relative and friends or couch surfing
• 20% of Homeless people live in boarding housing and other temporary accommodation
• 18% of Homeless people sleep rough
• 18% of Homeless people using beds at a homeless services
So most of the people who are homeless spend time with family members until they wear their welcome. A lot of the time people believe that homeless people only sleep in parks on park benches or in alleyways, not too many people realise that people don’t always sleep rough most people stay at a friends or in temporary houses, cheap hotels, caravan parks and cars.
