In this season of In Our Backyard, we explore homelessness and the housing crisis from various perspectives.

Respected journalist Tracee Hutchison speaks with Kara Van Der Heyde, Assertive Outreach Worker, Southern Peninsula Community Support, and Chad, a local who has first hand experience of sleeping rough. 

In this series, we also hear from local housing and homelessness service providers about the overwhelming demand for public housing, emergency relief and support services on the Mornington Peninsula and what we can all do to help.
