HOMELESS in ADELAIDE

Dignity is a human right

Have you seen someone in Adelaide who is homeless - sleeping on the street?

Do you wish they had a portable shelter - Backpack Bed (swag)?

Fact. There are not enough shelters and governments ignore the basic human right to shelter and dignity.

1,938 people will sleep rough on the street across SA this year (ABS 2021).

Adelaide city was the highest region with people sleeping on the streets in SA (ABS 2021).

up to 21% of homeless Aussies sleeping on the streets have suffered cold/wet illnesses hypothermia, frostbite or trench foot (MS2H 2011).
