Homelessness
Australia’s homelessness crisis is a humanitarian disaster. Over 8,000 people sleep rough each night, facing violence, illness, and an average life expectancy of just 47. Yet, thousands of empty spaces sit unused. If we treat natural disasters with urgency, why not homelessness?
Through Prison Transport Group, Norm also works to keep families connected with incarcerated loved ones, because strong relationships are key to rehabilitation and reintegration.
Homelessness isn’t distant, it’s affecting everyday Australians. We need a shelter-first approach. No one should be left outside.
