Mental Health and Homelessness

A new report from the Mental Health Council of Australia presents ten ‘Home Truths’ about what must be done to ensure people with a mental illness have access to adequate and affordable housing. Home truths: mental health, housing and homelessness in Australia also highlights the need for support if stable housing is to be maintained, and points out the costs of inaction.

Home Truths calls for the national implementation of specialist housing models that are designed to provide the support that some people with a mental illness need to live in the community.
