If you need housing and support to find a bed urgently, call Housing Connect on 1 8 0 0 8 0 0 5 8 8. Everyone has the right to shelter; to have a place to live. The two main ways people get somewhere to live are through renting or buying. Sometimes, and for many reasons, people become homeless and require emergency or crisis housing. In Tasmania, the Australian and state governments fund some community services to help when this happens. If you are homeless contact trusted people in your network of support and let them know. If you do not tell people about your situation, they will not be able to help you.
