Public housing disaster in Adelaide

I am homeless.I have been assessed by HousingSA as being 'in urgent need of housing', but I still have to wait up to 3 years to be housed.HousingSA owes money to the federal government, and in order to pay this debt they are selling off stock. Of course this stock isn't being replaced so the situation is getting worse.The waiting list has blown out to 25,000, of which 7500 are homeless, with about 350 'sleeping rough'.Homeless people don't vote, so we are invisible
