Awareness Week in 2021 will address the issue of the need for more social and affordable housing.  The campaign will particularly highlight the need in rural and regional NSW, and the fact women over 55 are the fastest growing group of homeless people in Australia. "At crisis point" is how Australia’s social and affordable housing situation has been described, with multiple reports and studies in the past decade highlighting the urgent need to dramatically increase the nation’s housing stocks for the most vulnerable – the old, the young, the unemployed, low income earners and those living with disabilities - in our communities.
