New homes planned for Sydney's homeless : "'By making the chronically homeless a priority and providing additional support we help break the cycle of homelessness for them to live independently.
'Just providing accommodation alone will not achieve this aim.''"
This is so fantastic. Australia is a country where everyone ought to be able to have a roof over their head and enough to eat. It isn't as simple as giving people a home. The homeless are homeless for all sorts of reasons. I wouldn't expect to be able to help those who have committed themselves to homelessness for philosophical reasons. That is their right, but that is not most people. Most people don't actually want to be homeless and by working with them we shall build up an accurate picture as to how this is occurring in a "clever" country and how we can best help them. Again, once the process is in place we can be brought in to help. Shown the way. No one should be without a roof and food.
