Jesuit Social Services works with many people – especially those with mental health and substance misuse issues, newly-arrived refugees and migrants, those exiting prison, and those leaving out-of-home care – who are experiencing or have experienced homelessness, inappropriate or unsafe housing, housing instability and stress, and other forms of disadvantage in their lives.
In our recent submission to the Productivity Commission’s Review of the National Housing and Homelessness Agreement, we called on the Federal Government to do more to improve the national response to housing stress and homelessness.
