A tsunami of homelessness is rising across Australia, and single women over 55 are its fastest-growing cohort. Often invisible, these women mask their struggles.
In Maleny, the crisis has hit home. Local Tracy Adams (pictured)—an unwavering volunteer and full-time housing advocate for the past five years—is now facing homelessness herself.
Despite glowing praise from landlords, at 64 and undergoing cancer treatment, Tracy has been evicted and left without shelter. “I’m feeling very vulnerable and terrified,” she says.
Locals are fighting back with Raise the Roof, a benefit concert at Maleny RSL, Friday June 27, 6–10pm. Entry $30/$15.
