For the last 75 days, she's been living in her car.

Not because she made bad choices. Because her lease wasn't renewed, rents in her area jumped past what her pension could cover, and there was nowhere else to go.

She raised a family in a home not far from where her car is now parked most nights.

This is hidden homelessness, and it's the reality for a growing number of older women across Australia right now. Not sleeping rough where you'd expect to see it. Parked outside a friend's house. In a car in a shopping centre car park. Just out of sight.

We found her safe, temporary accommodation within a week of connecting with her. We're now working on a lease she can actually sustain.

This is the work. Getting women out of situations like this one, and into something stable, before another 75 days pass.

Help Us Build Helen's Haven – A Place of Hope, Not Just Shelter … Helen Youngberry needs your support for BUILDING SAFE SHELTERS FOR OUR ELDERLY AND HOMELESS

20/08/2026

AM 63 — AND I CONSIDER MYSELF ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES.
But so many people my age, and older, are not.
We have worked.
We have raised families.
We have bought homes, paid mortgages and paid taxes.
We have volunteered, cared for others and contributed to our communities.
We helped build the Australia we live in today.
And now some of the very people who spent their lives contributing to this country are sleeping in cars, living in tents, couch surfing, skipping meals and wondering where they will sleep tomorrow night.
At this stage of our lives, our religion shouldn't matter.
Our skin colour shouldn't matter.
Our beliefs shouldn't matter.
How we vote shouldn't matter.
Hell, even how we take our coffee shouldn't matter.
What should matter is that we are human beings.
People who have spent decades contributing to this country should not reach their 60s, 70s and beyond only to discover what their government believes they are worth.
A waiting list is not a home.
A promise is not a bed.
And telling an older person to wait years for housing when they have nowhere safe to sleep is not a solution.
These people are our mothers and fathers.
Our grandparents.
Our neighbours.
The workers who built our roads, staffed our shops, raised our children and kept our communities going.
They are not disposable.
Australia can do better than allowing older people to spend their final decades frightened, homeless and forgotten.
We spend our lives building this country.
We should not have to spend our later years begging it for somewhere safe to sleep.
This isn't about politics.
It's about dignity.
It's about humanity.
And it's about what kind of country we choose to be.
