What happens when you can't pay the rent or find anywhere cheaper? Perhaps you or your dependents are ill, divorce or loss has left you short, or you're unemployed or retired with minimal savings, or you've left a bad situation. No one imagines they will one day become homeless. Women over 55 are the largest growing cohort in Australia. What's it like to face homelessness?
Guided by the host, Beth Armstrong, the guests share their stories of hardship, how they came to the point of homelessness and the subsequent impact on their lives. In this first episode, they share their life stories and the process they went through to find a home; in the second episode, they discuss their views on what needs to change, share personal triumphs and trials and offer advice for others embarking on the process.
