Help us to help those that need it most.

There are over 13,500 homeless people on any given night in Perth.

The largest group of people who are homeless are women and children who have been involved in domestic violence and are now living in temporary accommodation. Whether we like to admit it, homelessness touches many of our families at some point in our lives.

The average life expectancy of a homeless person is about 45 years. Poor health exacerbates homelessness and results in a cycle where being homeless results in poor health and poor health keeps a person homeless. Unfortunately, many homeless people have had previous poor experiences with healthcare and as they are preoccupied with basic survival, health care is often low on their priorities.
