As put by Nat Cook
Once again severe weather conditions will see our frontline homelessness services out during the forecast rain and thunderstorms to support people sleeping rough over the coming days.
Combing rain, storms and wind is a real risk to rough sleepers who are among those most affected by extreme weather. The Severe Weather Activation will help them stay warm and safe and protect their belongings from the weather.
Please call Homeless Connect SA, if you are or know someone who is a rough sleeper.
