Ep4. School communities impacted by homelessness

1,120 Australian children under the age of 12 sleep on the street every night. This is an alarming statistic and a growing concern for our region as more and more Sunshine Coast families face homelessness due to a great lack of housing.

To give us an on-the-ground perspective of the impacts of the housing crisis on children on the Sunshine Coast, Dr. Michael Stewart, Principal of Our Lady of the Rosary Primary School in Caloundra shares how they've lost at least 12 families from their school due to not being able to find a home on the Sunshine Coast, have a number of their student families living in their cars and others in the community seeking shelter at the school.
