Caption 1: General awareness post

This Homelessness Week, we’re reminded that homelessness is not just about having nowhere to sleep.
It can mean living in a car, couch surfing, staying in unsafe housing, or not knowing where you’ll be next week.
Across Australia, many people are facing impossible choices because safe and affordable housing is out of reach.
At The Salvation Army, we believe everyone deserves dignity, respect and a safe place to call home.
This Homelessness Week, we’re standing with people experiencing homelessness and calling for action now.

The numbers tell an important story.
Housing affordability and homelessness are key concerns across our communities, including right here in [Your State].
Behind every statistic is a person, a family, a young person, or a neighbour who deserves safety, dignity and support.
This Homelessness Week, The Salvation Army is continuing to advocate for safe, affordable and secure housing,
and to support people experiencing homelessness across Australia.
Together, we can help end homelessness for good.
