Western Sydney braces for housing shortage

“By working with Government and the private sector, Link Wentworth and other CHPs are well equipped to provide basic human necessities like shelter and a sense of community,” Mr McAnulty said. “We’re also particularly concerned with the increasing number of women who are at risk of homelessness. There isn’t adequate affordable housing for single older women, one of the fastest growing cohorts experiencing homelessness, nor women experiencing domestic violence. It’s a situation that needs urgent attention, reform and funding.” The release of the report coincided with a public forum debate on Thursday in Penrith, featuring a range of speakers including politicians from both major parties.
