  This program has been very successful in providing much needed assistance to families living in poverty and at a high risk of becoming homeless", said AFHO's Chairperson, Narelle Clay.
  
  "However, there are 100,000 homeless people in Australia (ABS, 2001) and the HOME Advice Program will only help 400 families each year.The Budget offers no assistance to the most vulnerable Australians - those who are already homeless", continued Ms Clay.

  Southern Youth and Family Services CEO Narelle Clay expects at least $40 million of the outlay will be allocated to NSW.
  
  She is hoping a good portion of this will find its way to the South Coast to be spent on accommodation support programs, shelters, crisis refuges and supported services.
  
  Beds and services for young people, people with mental illness and women and children escaping domestic violence should be priorities, she said.
  
  "This is the first very large investment in homelessness since 1985," she said.
  ...
  "The South Coast has a significant problem," Ms Clay said.
  ...
  "The Illawarra was a leader in developing the foyer model," Ms Clay said.
  
  "It got evaluated as being highly successful and yet there was no ongoing funding stream for it."
  
  Ms Clay, a commissioner on last year's Independent Inquiry into Youth Homelessness, is confident the foyer project will qualify for funding from Canberra.

  Southern Youth and Family Services CEO Narelle Clay described the crimes as a "horrible, insidious thing" which can affect children well into adulthood.
  
  "For many young people - even when it happens when they were children - when they are adolescents, when they take more control of themselves, when their own sexuality starts developing, some of the impacts come out then," she said.
  
  The affects on children and young people are varied depending on the victim, Ms Clay said, but could include homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, depression, self-harm, sleep disorders, eating disorders, difficulty forming relationships and anger.
  
  "There's a whole range of psychological conditions that can occur as a result," she said.

  "There are currently 100,000 Australians facing homelessness every night, which is absurd for a country as rich as ours", said Narelle Clay, AFHO Chairperson."This campaign is asking all Governments to increase funding to help the more than 500 adults and 200 children who are turned away everyday from homeless services because there is no room for them".
  
  Community Services Ministers are scheduled to meet on 26th November to agree on the funding levels for homeless assistance services from July 2005 to June 2010.
  
  "This is the only opportunity within the next 5 years for an increase in Commonwealth funding to provide extra resources to the homeless service system", continued Ms Clay.
