2024 Homelessness Week

Home Time supporters were involved in a number of incredible events and opportunities throughout Homelessness Week 2024.

We have been thrilled to see some remarkable work and research coming out during Homelessness Week and beyond. 

Notable reports include Mission Australia’s The Unfair Divide youth homelessness report, Melbourne City Mission's Inaugural Victorian Youth Homelessness Snapshot and Homelessness Australia's 2024 Child Homelessness Snapshot.

The findings of these reports resonate strongly with the calls to action of the Home time campaign, specifically around the need to establish 15,000 dedicated tenancies for young people.

On August 8, Lived Experience Advisor and Home Time advocate Tyler spoke at the 'Right to Housing' national webinar, co-hosted by the Centre for Social Justice & Inclusion and the Human Rights Law Centre.

Hundreds of people dialled in to the session, listening to Tyler speak about the current housing crisis, articulating the key reform asks of the Home Time campaign that will make the right to housing a reality.
