Quick blog on Homelessness and mental Health.

Homelessness is a significant problem in Australia. While the government has made some efforts to help homeless people, there is still much work to be done.The most recent study conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics found that 1.6 million people were homeless in 2017.
