Handmade Scarves for Homeless
We’re back in business for Winter in Sydney 2020!
I just had a look at my Winter Warm Project and what I want to achieve by creating this initiative. My first thought, when I came up with the idea, was simply to help homeless people on the streets of Sydney stay warm over the cold winter months. This still applies, however, I also want to create awareness around homelessness and why it’s so important to provide assistance. I’m yet to fully work out how to achieve this, but I guess it will become a journey for both myself and my community as to what this will look like over time.
I thought I’d start spreading awareness around homelessness by sharing Homelessness Australia’s “Homelessness Statistics” from the National Census in 2016.
Homelessness Australia currently uses statistics from the ABS Census of Housing and Population and the AIHW Specialist Homeless Services data collection for their statistics. The ABS Census is conducted every five years, with the most recent release being for 2016.

The rate of homelessness (which takes into account population density) is 50 out of every 10,000 people —up five per cent from the 48 persons in 2011, and up on the 45 persons in 2006
