Melbourne's housing crisis worse in suburbs than CBD

1. City's rough sleepers more common in the suburbs – and just tip of the iceberg


"A new report makes clear that rough sleepers are just the most visible tip of the state's homelessness iceberg.

'Rough Sleeping in Victoria', completed ahead of a new Andrews government strategy to tackle the issue, was released as part of a two-day conference at Melbourne Town Hall organised by the Council to Homeless Persons.
The report, produced by a range of organisations but led by Brotherhood of St Laurence executive director Tony Nicholson, also paints a picture of a typical rough sleeper."

2. Melbourne's housing crisis worse in suburbs than CBD, welfare agencies say

"Welfare agencies are warning the homelessness crisis is actually much worse in the suburbs and on the urban fringe.
It's just not as obvious because people are taking shelter in places such as toilet blocks, bushes and cars.
