No Home to Go To. Homeless people falling through gaping holes in Covid19 responses.


Listen Later

As the Covid19 virus proliferates humans watch in horror at how nature can disrupt and destroy our lives. While those with a place to live retreat to their  homes the most vulnerable have no home to go to.  Some money has come from the government for rough sleepers to stay in hotels but this response is patchy and  thousands of people who are not eligible for Centrelink or other government payments are falling through gaping holes in the system. They are left vulnerable to the virus and even harder circumstances as many homeless people's services, providing food, clothes, and showers, shut down. Our guests this week are dedicated  to improving the lives of the homeless:Dr. Anne Solari: Doctor to the homeless and  Deacon at St Johns Church, Brisbane.Gerry Georgatos: Coordinator, National Suicide Prevention and Trauma Recovery Project  in conversation with Áine Ní Tighearnaigh with thanks to Transforming Perspectives show at 2xx 98.3 FM Canberra Lanz Priestley  from Sydney's 24-7 Street Kitchen and Safe Space Community and the Virtual Street KitchenEarth Matters #1240 was produced by Bec HorridgeLinks:Sydney's 24-7 Street Kitchen and Safe Space Community and the Virtual Street Kitchen.To directly buy a meal for hungry people call Lanze on his mobile: 0460410355 Powered by our ever-growing community love concern and spirit of generosity.
