Kids Under Cover
(AU, 76604592013) Browse events
YTD Raised: $0.00Kids Under Cover prevents youth homelessness by building homes and providing scholarships and mentors to at-risk young people. Being homeless can happen to anyone. On any given night there are 105,000 homeless people in Australia and nearly half of these are under the age of 25. (Homelessness Australia, Homelessness in Australia, 2012 using 2011 Census Data.) Research has identified that if young people are not properly supported when they first experience homelessness, they have a higher chance of becoming homeless in their adult lives. Around 40% of homeless adults were first homeless as young people.
