In Usap Tayo, we discussed why advocates are calling for urgent homelessness action in Australia.


Key Points

  • Homelessness Week 2026 runs from August 3 to 9 under the theme "Homelessness Action Now."
  • Research shows nearly one in three Australians walk past people experiencing homelessness without acknowledging them.
  • While new social housing construction will reach 8,000 units annually through 2030, experts warn of a severe funding cliff afterward.
