The current cost-of-living crisis has stung millions, with over half of Australians feeling the pinch. According to a new report by Orange Sky, a not-for-profit organisation that provides free services to homeless people, 57% of the nations population are feeling extreme financial pressure.
These huge numbers stretch throughout both men and women, Australian families with children under the age of 18 and First Nations individuals. Increase in homelessness has come as a result of this, striking fear for those struggling across Australia.
