8:27 pm
whole homelessness 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, of 50, has been identified as homeless on the brink of homelessness. these women, not only that the country they are o o is at the well, it is a crisis on our doorstep. 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 a so called lucky country continues to this day. the
8:28 pm
women may have race, 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 as mine. when will this hope you're not going to see many women actually sleeping well because they were sleeping, they con, will sleep on the public on women one 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. you know,
8:29 pm
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 uploaded, right? yeah. sometimes it looks so bloody big when we say that, you know, hundreds of thousands of people are either homeless or on the brink of it, or the really status from a conversation with my daughter. it was at the time when the industry station grand hole was in the news haven't been empty for 10 years and below a table sleeping rough. and i'll set to how many other buildings in melbourne are
8:30 pm
empty. and from that, housing illustrated is really involved the a pop shelter is a short term solution. he's not a solution for the housing along to them because it's only temporary. the one not use buildings that allowing him teeth to house people that really in housing stress the it was all 100 office american very back into i'm not going to be the total. i'm in here with the google the property industry. we can refurbish these buildings for short term use with an appropriate not for profit, like the white, obviously ios elevation, 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 in upscale people if they want to re educate. so then they
8:31 pm
can get back into the workforce as well as the, the past, a certain age experience counts for nothing. apparently, it's all about disposability burden up. hi, lenny. it's consumers in 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 the, i just didn't know such places existed. i didn't know about women's housing because that wasn't in my experience. so it wasn't relevant to me that was the pull women
8:32 pm
in awful situation. so i had some ways to mr. bonnet, so poor single moms trying to bring up kids and like bailey carping 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 owed a pension show. maybe that of course, eat deep. you can go from being incredibly successful, have everything in place, and then books, few little corks, couple of troops you never expected. you hadn't actually allowed full. and they, you uh, on the doorstep of homelessness. i looked in sydney for there's 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
8:33 pm
i went to years of taking pretty much every 90 to press on the mock and traveling them. i was on that is i caught a something on t eclipse t drugs i've been and also has things been sleeping 17 hours a day on buddy sarah full. 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. start of 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 this way. you conquer food, you can't go 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 friend had a friend of hers that she was referring to
8:34 pm
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 9 that came to me of
8:35 pm
cold air rise. the i've been houseless, not homeless since. 2018. and i bought 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 a wonder, you know, and my children are they have but they busy with a lot. so this is my home and this is my little lots and lots good.
8:36 pm
while i used to think i need to hi needs to build the house. and then after sitting in use of marriage, it was normal. 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 i was on my own. how do i do this? yeah, want to just do it well, this is a, 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. i saw it is that i didn't want to be stationary or living 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
8:37 pm
a choices unite. and sometimes via all the unknown prevents those choices, like i used to see why, because my super to body's fast. so i think you can see she's done a lot of kilometers. you know, it might be something go wrong with the engine, but i talked to her all the time and she gets the best or the best diesel. she gets service 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 my page, i'll just keep doing the,
8:38 pm
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 trends to 5 times my
8:39 pm
house in bryson not there anymore for me, but it comes into my head a lot more than i actually realize. i think i must have been walking past the building, so i saw 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 of or something my comfort time. it's scary. i actually didn't realize that all the oldest homeless this is happening for women, 55, and neither i know is it on my comforts? i thought hi. i've got my apartment now. i.
8:40 pm
i hope that i might ever have 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 as everything else go now the me my mom died in 2000. i change i think found out from the silly so that in her will. she made it quite clear that myself and my brother would
8:41 pm
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 quite sure why, but she could, the a lot of christmas's was on my 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
8:42 pm
treat it as another di 0 in $71.00. 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 identity. julie looked down, it's about 4 people, 2 of them homeless, 2 of them kind of middle class trapped in issues, trying to get them doing a pandemic outbreak of books. and i pitched that before cause it happened.
8:43 pm
i 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 hurt. that seems like a better one. 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 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 i tie starting from experience as well
8:44 pm
traveling in this old 100 to the noise. how the whole gas also known as how the whole guy, c, unstoppable but she's is now really though i don't. well, she's lost it outside, but he is my ok. 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. everyone has the right to an adequate standard of living. that includes housing. whether it's a utopian vision or not add,
8:45 pm
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 dream out of for each the
8:46 pm
oh. so beautiful. and 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 the trees thirds of the people who are 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 starting and, and on site farm or becoming harmless 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
8:47 pm
for the, for the 6 years of my age, i started the then when i came here, i am sick to die and feed safe and everything is okay. i got married that the age of 21. very sick too. we have one properties and cops and the 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 cumulative mine up by the middle tables in the house. he was to a sorry to me and he used to push me out of the door,

8:49 pm
i don't really get lonely as such, that it hasn't been assign a kind of lost a little bit of my passion for it. and that i think that creates a little bit of time. this is like, i'm just tired of this for now. just not feeling walk it 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 been insane. 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 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
8:50 pm
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 or is the part of the society to be live in just isn't happy with the choice i made of me living in a call not leaving the area and i just want to stay here the, my home, my, my friends, 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 temporary 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, really, and vision with the political will to rebuild the hopes that we once had. the great astray in dream might be, i thought maybe it's time to build a new dream the
