The Feed goes inside one of Darwin's most infamous public housing blocks through the eyes of NT News photographer, Daniel Hartley-Allen. (Warning: Some of these images are confronting.)

The Northern Territory has the highest rate of homelessness in the country.

If you live in the top end then you are almost 15 times more likely to be homeless than in any other part of Australia. The solution for many is government funded accommodation.
