The rate of homelessness in Australia has been a significant issue for many years, exacerbated by the outbreak of Covid-19, with widespread loss of jobs. There are roughly 117,000 homeless people in Australia. Many organisations like Mission Australia, One Voice, and the Salvation Army provide short-term solutions of accommodation that are unsustainable in the long term.

Whenever I go to the city or any highly-populated area, I frequently notice homeless people. It makes me feel upset that this is happening and that most approaches seem reactionary and don't provide more permanent results. I wanted to develop a solution to help people who can't help themselves.

I have created a system/environment that will help combat long term homelessness all over Australia. Not only providing people with long-stay accommodation, food and medical assistance but opportunities to get jobs and further education. I created simple and functional tiny houses to get individuals off the streets and into a safe place. The houses are in a radial layout around central buildings that offer a place, amongst other things, to learn new job skills, so they are empowered to provide for themselves. This provision of holistic help and a sense of community is what makes my project valuable and innovative.
