In this heart-to-heart episode of the Backyard Property Pod, we sit down with Tracy Longo, COO of Homes for Homes, to explore the staggering reality of housing insecurity in Australia. With 46,000 children facing homelessness and over 1.5 million people living in housing stress, the problem is too big for the government to solve alone. Tracy shares her deeply personal journey of experiencing housing insecurity as a child and explains how her organisation creates a seamless way for everyday homeowners to make a difference.
More than 50% of people experiencing homelessness are female, 7% are rough sleeping - Female is just under 44%, and rough sleeping is 6%
