is getting a bit stock control over the years. but i want tim to more and more serious in me switching on the line with you because the i feel as though the cause actually my armor,

i don't even needs cold and i refuse putting good hands on logging off because when i wake up in the morning i can look up straight into the sky. like mind i see the night sky. i don't get bored about sometimes i get lonely. i just want to cool up into the fetal position and disappear. not for you any more. because it feels lovely, said the
3:27 am
whole time listeners is often seen as a man's issue. what comes to mind is a man sleeping rough on a park bench. you don't tend to think about someone's daughter, mother, grandmother, as new daughter and matches. full 100000 women of it 50 has been identified as homeless or on the brink of homelessness. these women not only is that the country they r o o is at the well, it is a crisis on ad those steps. it's always been a struggle for women to have a quality and australia, although that has been some progress. the fight for quality in the so called lucky country continues to this day. the women may have race,
3:28 am
children, how to reduce earning capacity, carrots, aging, parents, put careers on hold and have little no superannuation. now as they age and with no prospect of getting back into the workforce, they find themselves as part of the crowing and shameful statistics of homelessness . they are often hidden out of sight, out of mind. when will this good? you're not going to see many women actually sleeping well because they were sleeping they. com that was sleep out of how many con, women weren't even tell they families what they're experiencing. you know, i think everyone would have been so surprised if we said that women in the fifty's is the fast as cohort of people experiencing homelessness in australia,
3:29 am
in the 21st century. no one expected that. and the reasons for it, a complicated superannuation, family violence, pay equity, a whole range of issues that have led to what we're seeing is across this morning. have a good, good, good, good, good. and the photos are already applied, right? yeah. sometimes it looks so bloody big when we say that, yeah, hundreds of thousands of people are either homeless or on the brink call that the really started from a conversation with my daughter. it was at the time when the food industry station grand hole was in the news haven't been empty for 10 years and below a table sleeping rough and said to how many other buildings in melbourne are empty
3:30 am
. and from that housing illustrated is really evolve. health i've shelter is a short term solution is not a solution for the housing a long time because it's only temporary the one that use buildings that allowing empty to house people that really in housing stress the it was all but office and then we can really back into i'm not going to be able to pull the thing in here with the google the property industry. we can refurbish these buildings for short term lease with an appropriate not for profit like the white. obviously i all sell by should i mean and then many others. it is not a title solution. we must build a lot more housing. well, it's a great spice for you, and it's big enough that we can, as you said, get people in training and up skill people if they want to re educate. so then they
3:31 am
can get back into the workforce as well. as the the, the past a certain age experience counts for nothing. apparently it's all about disposability a bird amount of money. it's consumers and the same way. yeah. i mean you use it until the next new or younger thing comes along. so you're just saying, who are you anymore? i don't even i'm not the me. i always knew or thought i was i didn't know such places existed. i didn't know about women's housing because that wasn't in my experience. so wasn't relevant to me. that was the whole women in
3:32 am
awful situation. so i had to leave domestic bonnet, so poor single moms trying to bring up kids and like barely carpeting it was for people like that. it wasn't for me. i was never going to be own benefit. so welfare or disability benefits never going to have never old age pension show may be. but of course, eat deep. you can go from being incredibly successful, have everything in place and then hooks to little corks. couple of trips you never expected. you had an x ray lab full and they you, uh, on the doorstep of homelessness. i looked and sidney. this is a news as an advertising for many years. creative directive, very high powered jobs, very successful, lots of pressure. but i wasn't a medication. bipolar depressive. i was diagnosed bipolar when i was 20
3:33 am
i went to years of taking pretty much every 90 to press on the mock and traveling them. i was on that as i caught ex. i've been on an t eclipse drugs i've been and also has things been sleeping 17 hours a day on buddy circle. and it's very darwin and davinci that caught up with me when i had the e from hell. i lost my mother, my brother, and my lover, and a 12 month period. i had no money. i had to get back to know and find some way to leave. started work again, got myself in apartment, lost my job, and retail could not get another one. just could know, could no longer afford to be paying $400.00 a week. rent. went through supa, went through everything like that just and then you get to the stage where your stage of space a square, conquer, forge concord back. i couldn't afford to live there and i couldn't afford to move. and i honestly did not know what i was going to do. and somehow, this lovely friends had a friend of hers that she was referring to
3:34 am
a place called women's housing. that is the only way i found that women's housing came to my rescues. i found some way to lose. that was a major turning point. i feel secure. they told me i had this apartment as long as i wanted or needed. if per chance, george clooney breaks up with them all, and you know, we finally hook up as it should be. he can move into my apartment with me, but it will still be my apartment in my name. the this then is hold rosie and i to move out to just saw it on the 9, but i always felt very close to my grandmother. and that's the name that came to me
3:35 am
. i'll call her rising. i've seen houseless, not homeless since 2018, and i booked the bossing december 2000 nice thing. so um, pretty much all i have lived in here ever since. says my head. i don't want to be living in the suburbs. i don't want to be stuck in one place. you know, my dad was alondra, you know, my children are they, but they busy with their lives. so this is my home, and this is my little lots and lots good.
3:36 am
while i used to think i need to hi, i need stability on your house. and then after sleeping in use of marriage, it was no more. i was a stay at home mom, so i didn't have any money and i had to for, for child support. i could still remember a moment in time with i realized what was on my own. how do i do this? yeah, want to just do it. well this is it, this is, this is my life now. and, and i think from then i started to pick up i probably thought to, there's going to be more to last a nice the, it was a real game change. all i saw it is that i didn't want to be station read only thing in the hands. so when for a big trip, this past has just been the best thing ever. i guess i haven't found home apart from us the, it's
3:37 am
a choices unite. and some to me via of the unknown prevents those choices. like i used to see why, cuz my super to body spots. so i can see she's done a lot of kilometers. you know might be something go wrong with the engine, but i talk to her all the time and she gets the best or the best diesel. she gets this regularly. she gets in utah as you know. so all those things you think, well that could possibly walk me out. i don't think it's, you know, so much of it's just here the, as long as i can try and get up on the page. i'll just keep doing the,
3:38 am
as well as state and federal governments, farrah hundreds of organizations, charities not for profits and individuals working around the country to assist and find a combination for the growing number of women in housing stress. even if a woman is lucky enough to be given a place to live, it's not a gift, it's not free. she must use a portion of her pension to pay the rent. this type of accommodation may look fancy, but it is often located far from the woman's social network and has little or no connection to the life she once had the on from england i came when i was 16. i mean that period of time since i was being in australia, i have moved trans
3:39 am
t thought times my house in bryson. it's not there anymore for me. but it comes into my head a lot more than i actually realize. i think almost that they moved from house to building saw it. so i'm here in newport. i'm not 100 percent happy living here in women's housing. and though i was wonderful, i haven't really size of my head on most of the my comfort time. it's scary. i actually didn't realize that all the oldest homelessness is happening for women. 55, and neither i know is it on my comforts, i thought high school. my apartment now i,
3:40 am
i hope that online is a has to move from there. i don't have the emotional strength to move again. i don't want to. i want to make the most of everything i've got now the me or my mom died in 2019 i think found out from the silly set up. but in who will she made it quite clear that myself and my brother
3:41 am
were to have nothing of hers as whole. and the house has been left to neighbors. she was my mom. and she really high to this i'm not quite sure why, but she could, the a lot of christmas is i was on my i i just feel that it's a family time. and as i don't have family, as per se, probably not to acknowledge it too much or think too much about it. and probably
3:42 am
treat it as another di 0 and 71. the most stuff that i think are still working up to the fact that you know what sometimes last just doesn't turn out how you think it will. the i finished my so don't analyze written a commission play of the entirety. julie looked at, it's about 4 people, 2 of them homeless, 2 of them kind of middle class trapped in i just used find tunnel, doing a pandemic outbreak apocalypse. and i pitched that before because it happened i
3:43 am
always thought there's a chance of getting back to sleep. the thing that kept me doing what i was doing more than anything else was how is that seems like a better one day. if anything, having been homeless has left me a little bit paranoid of something going wrong again to get this kind of paranoid, that if that i could mess up and my life could go to again. so i tend to die. so things that i kind of secuity in case of a disaster is like being in a constantly, in a way constantly with heightened how annoying about ending up homeless the washing that has gotten me out of homelessness and out of poverty started well traveling in this cause i think so i'm calling to see, i don't want to get rid of the positivity this guy has given me that i've built up from nothing to doing okay. starting from experience as well
3:44 am
traveling in this old 100 you know how the whole gas also known as how the whole gas, the unstoppable but she is now really though i don't. well, she's lost it outside, but he is my okay. the massive housing thing over the last few decades has pushed up house prices and the cost of renting has skyrocketed the universal declaration of human rights states. every one has the right to an adequate standard of living. that includes housing. whether it's a utopian vision or not add,
3:45 am
it's called homelessness is the responsibility of governments. but also as a society, we cannot ignore the situation any longer. there is just not enough affordable housing. there is not enough public housing without governments taking charge. the non government support surfaces of buckling onto the pressure to many people. hi am i in a ship is a drain out of reach the
3:46 am
oh. so beautiful. and if there's a sense of safety and there's a sense of, of being of a high, and i want to thank you all for coming to the opening of garden house in the last year or 2 thirds of the people who were accessing homelessness services were females and the main reason for accessing those services was a result of family and domestic violence. in the majority of the cases, women need to choose between either staying and, and on site farm, or becoming homeless and low transitional housing like this that doesn't solve homelessness, but it really provides a lifeline for those that needed in the moment. the
3:47 am
for the, for the 6 years of my age, i started the then when i came here, i am sick, 2 of them feed safe and everything is okay. i got mad either the age of 21. very sick too. we have one properties and cops and so when made send all that be how so much. but from the beginning, my husband kept me like in the present. he was like, committed to mine a by the middle tables in the house. he was to a sorry to me, and if she has to push me out of the door,
3:48 am
send all that i have to see for a long time and outside the house throughout my life, i was with the family and this is the 1st time i came from the family and living alone, but still i see all of them i, these the days have been so for my family, i seen i became independent. they became free from everything. all the bondage is send all the struggles in their life. and together we shared with the each other and we supple detail i am happy here
3:49 am
i don't really get lonely as such that it hasn't been assign a kind of lost a little bit of more passion for it than that. i think that creates a little bit of time. this is like, i'm just tired of this for now. just not feeling well getting used to. so i don't know if that's what's happening machine with more people on the road or if i'm going back to places i've already pain and thing. so i don't think it's that it just doesn't feel as i don't think about it too much. but what i'll do is i'll get all i can imagine that living in the van will have his difficulties. you know, i'll get a step to step up here. just little things like that. um yeah, i honestly don't know. hopefully i would find a quiet place just to just to be of
3:50 am
the i have this tendency to month to size my situation. it kind of motivates me to get up every morning to make my, to, you know, to keep on moving. but this another side of is the part of the society to be live and just isn't happy with the choice i made of me living in a call not leaving the area, but i just want to stay here the my home, my, my friends, the,
3:51 am
i look in other people's cause who live in that. com and i wouldn't want to share with them because some people are very messy. and some people are kind of neat and tidy like me, the hit manage to live full time, 247, and my call over 1000 nice. then i got this 1st off, i basically, you know, moving into the plays with my, on my phone. that's a very important factor of want to me. i have no drama with sleeping in my car and i have no drama in preparing my meals out of the call bathroom as an issue. i always missed the bathroom. that's the one thing that this, i don't know just. there's not much in the shadow that is the

3:54 am
so i spend my time here in the bed with us. i was, i couldn't these if i wanted to. if i don't really take, yeah, that should stay sli inside my visa, it gets, maybe i hit that one. and i just sondra is good anymore. so that means i has to, has a meticulous plan. like i would not put my umbrella went into the go, i would not put myself in on the website and for the call i 6 and the gives me an idea of who owns and closing the

beat and predictable nature of living without a roof of your head is just one of many complications that homeless women whether you are sleeping rough or in short, 10 or in 13 accommodation with out stable housing is a roller coaster of emotions, anxiety, trauma, via and trying to survive each and every day. there's a need to re imagine a newest, riley, and vision with the political will to rebuild the hopes that we once had the great astray in dream might be or thought. maybe it's time to build a new dream, the
