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 or on the brink of homelessness. these women, not only is it the country they r 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 in australia. although that has been some progress. the fight for quality in the so called lucky country continues to this day, why women
11:28 pm
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 prospective getting back into the workforce, they find themselves as part of the crowing and shameful statistics of homelessness . a dale often hidden out of sight at his mind. when will this hope you're not going to see many women actually sleeping well because they were sleeping, they come, i will sleep out of how many con women would even tell their families what they're experiencing. you know, i think everyone would have been so surprised if we said that women in the fifty's
11:29 pm
is the fast as cohort of people experiencing homelessness in australia, 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 static from a conversation with my daughter was at the time when the, when the street station grand whole was in the news haven't been empty for 10 years
11:30 pm
and below a table sleeping rough and upset to have many other buildings in melbourne or 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. and then we can really 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
11:31 pm
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 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, bird amount of money. 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, as i just didn't know such places exist as i didn't know about women's housing
11:32 pm
because that wasn't in my experience. so it wasn't relevant to me. that was the poor women in awful situation. so i had to leave 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 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 hadn't actually allowed full and they, you, uh, on the doorstep of homelessness. i looked in sidney, please. 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
11:33 pm
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 t april at t drugs. i've been and also 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. started work again, got myself an apartment, lost my job, and retail could not get another one. just could not, 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 search for a year. stage of stasis, where you conquer food 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.
11:34 pm
and somehow this lovely friends had a friend of hers that she was referring to a place called women's housing. that is the only way i found that women's housing came to my risk use. 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 the mall. 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 van useful, rosie and i to move out to just saw it on the 9th,
11:35 pm
but i always felt very close to my grandmother. and that's the name that came to me . oh, colder rising. 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. this is my home. 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 that they have, but they busy with their lives. so this is my home and this is my little loss and that's good.
11:36 pm
well i used to think i need to hi needs to build the house. and then after sitting in use of marriage 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 i was on my own. how do i do these? yeah, one, do i 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 lots of nice. the, it was a real game changing. i decided 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
11:37 pm
home apart from this past the. it's the choices you might in some, to, on the, on the unknown prevents those choices. like i used to see why, because my super to body spots. so i think the thinking t, she's done a little kilometers. you know, i 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 this regularly. she gets in utah eyes. 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,
11:38 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 accommodations 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 i'm from england, i came when i was 16. i mean that period of time since i was being in australia,
11:39 pm
i have moved trends to thought times my house in bryson not there anymore for me, but it comes into my head a lot more than i actually realize. i think almost if they move out of the building, so i saw from here in newport. i'm not 100 percent happy living here in limits housing. and so i was wonderful. i haven't really size of my head on most of the my comforts i'm it's scary. i actually didn't realize the of the oldest homelessness is happening for women. 55, and either i know that or not my comforts. i thought
11:40 pm
hi. i've got my apartment now. i, i how that i like 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 of everything i've got now the me my mom died in 2019. i then found out
11:41 pm
from the city so that in who will she made it quite clear that myself and my brother would have nothing of hers as old 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 i was on my i just feel that it's a family time and as i don't have family aunts trisha probably not to acknowledge it too much or think too much about it
11:42 pm
and probably treat it as another di 0 and 71, the most something called still work and 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, avoid that entirety. julie looked at, it's about full people, tools, i'm homeless tools, i'm kind of middle class trapped in issues, trying tunnel, doing a pandemic outbreak of books. and i pitched that before cause it happened. i
11:43 pm
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 pound away . that if that i could mess up and my wife could go to the game 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 liking 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
11:44 pm
from nothing to doing okay. starting from experience as well 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. everyone has the right to an adequate standard of living. that
11:45 pm
includes housing. whether it's a utopian vision or not add, it's called homelessness is the responsibility of government. 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 a lot going onto the pressure to many people. hi, mine is shape is a drain out of for each the
11:46 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 for coming to the opening of god house in the last year or victories, thirds of the people who were accessing homelessness services with 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 all those dying and, and on site harm. overcoming homeless and well, transitional housing like these that doesn't solve homelessness, but it really provides a lifeline for those that needed in the moment. the
11:47 pm
for the, for the 6 years of my age, i started the then when i came here, i'm sick to die and feed safe. and everything is a little kid. i got mad at the age of 21. very sick too. we have one properties and cops and uh, 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

11:49 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 and it's, it's like i'm just tired of this for now. just not feeling well if 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 pain and seen. 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 on the phone the quiet place just to just to be of
