"Homelessness is traumatic. It affects not just housing arrangements but
whether or not someone can get enough food, feel safe and maintain
relationships with friends and family. The physical and mental health effects
often persist long after people are rehoused, and the community and government
costs are high.
Much of the current response to homelessness is focused on supporting people
after they become homeless or just before they do so.
However, to really reduce homelessness we need to prevent those at risk from
ever becoming homeless in the first place. It’s akin to turning off a tap at
the source to prevent a flood downstream.
Our recent research, published by the Australian Housing and Urban Research
Institute, gives critical insights into how we can do that."
