Covid: did we miss an opportunity to house the homeless?

In March/April last year, 33,000 homeless people were given emergency Covid accommodation around the country. It was amazing to watch; thousands of people taken off the streets or from couch surfing situations, put in nice hotels.

At the time, people in the sector were hoping this moment would be a circuit breaker that could end homelessness. We’re joined by Katherine McKernan, CEO of Homelessness NSW; and Paul McDonald, CEO of Anglicare Victoria.

So did we seize the opportunity... how many of those people have been thrown out of their hotel rooms and back onto the streets?
