My thesis started with a series of raw questions that arose from my work experiences related to homelessness policy and services, and the assistance and critique of my supervisors has enabled me to formulate my initial curiosity into this research project. Many thanks go to all those that I have worked with in homelessness services: management, staff and people facing homelessness. It was as a result of our collaborative experiences and the obstacles we found in trying to respond to the devastating problems associated with homelessness that I originally decided to investigate why it seemed that ‘the causes of homelessness had changed’.

  • YOUTH HOMELESSNESS: Making a Difference!
    YOUTH HOMELESSNESS: Making a difference! Submission Inquiry into homelessness in Australia House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs Contact: Associate Professor David Mackenzie Director Upstream Australia University of South Australia COVER LETTER 7 September 2020 Dear members of the House of Representatives Legal and Social Issues Committee, This submission has been submitted by a coalition of organisations that have a common interest in reform and who hold the view that without signifcant change in the way by which we go about addressing homelessness, it will remain a troubling social problem into the future requiring ever increased funding despite a failure to achieve signifcant outcomes – that is, if the status-quo of service delivery remains largely unchanged. Realistically, change cannot happen overnight. Sustainable change does not succeed unless there is a long-term vision for what that change might look like, and how it can be realistically be achieved. As we explain in this submission, the problem of youth homelessness was recognised in Australia well before other countries such as the US, UK or Canada, but, despite several inquiries and plenty of media attention, the response to youth homelessness in Australia has been under-delivered. Have we drifted into simply managing the problem of youth homelessness while issuing a positive rhetoric of concern and action? Is the status-quo of homelessness and other cognate programs designed to actually reduce the number of young Australians who experience homelessness every year? Obviously, these are rhetorical questions! The focus of our submission are young people who experience homelessness, who have developmental and support needs relevant to their stage in the life course, however, the principles of system change addressed in this submission are more generally applicable.

  • Over 180 Organisations Urge Treasurer Frydenberg Not to Cut $56
    Media release – Melbourne, February Over 180 organisations urge Treasurer Frydenberg not to cut $56 million from homelessness services Homelessness services across the country, including domestic and family violence crisis accommodation services, are set to have over $56 million cut from their budgets by June 2021 unless the Federal Government agrees to fully fund services. Homelessness Australia Chair Jenny Smith says “In the last financial year, three in every four people using homelessness services were women and children, many of whom were fleeing family violence. “Cutting $56.7 million from homelessness services means there will be more than 500 fewer frontline workers. That will result in more women and children who are fleeing violence and who need help being turned away, putting them at risk of returning to violence or ending up on the street. “Last year, over 95,000 people missed out on getting support because the resources just weren’t there. Of the 260 people services had to tragically turn away each day, two-thirds of them were women and girls. Over 180 CEOs from front line homelessness services and other sector organisations have signed a joint letter to Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, calling on him to reinstate the scheduled budget cuts before the Federal Budget in May. Homelessness Australia Chair Jenny Smith says cutting funding for services just as demand soars is short sighted and heartless. “Homelessness services are already bracing for a huge rise in demand when the JobSeeker payment is drastically reduced at the end of March. Cutting service capacity right when more people will need support, is put simply, cruel,” Smith says.
