Charities Stretched Thin As Homelessness Demand Grows With Cost Of Living Pressures | 10 News+

Having a job is no guarantee of having somewhere safe to sleep. Frontline workers in 10 News+'s homelessness report describe growing demand for help, including from employed people and non-residents with nowhere to go.

Charities say cost-of-living pressures are making the situation worse for Australians already struggling to secure shelter. The report puts the strain on those services at the center of the story, rather than treating homelessness as only a question of unemployment.

The upload reached about 58,000 views in its first 19 hours. A regular video on 10 News usually draws around 6,000 across its entire first day, making this a markedly stronger start even as the channel's overall daily views remain close to their usual pace.

Beneath the report, viewers are discussing rising rents, out-of-reach house prices and possible housing responses, including tiny homes and changes to short-term rentals.
