Homelessness is more than not having a roof over your head. It's uncertainty, isolation and a future that feels out of reach. For young people, it can change the course of their lives. Let’s join together to make homelessness a thing of the past. Share this and stand in solidarity 🫶

For many women, homelessness starts with domestic abuse. Leaving an abusive relationship can mean leaving behind a home, financial security, support networks and confidence. Llamau helps women rebuild after abuse and homelessness by providing safety, support and hope for the future.

Non-binary people deserve to feel safe, and accepted. Sadly, many LGBTQ+ young people experience rejection that can leave them without support and, for some, without a home. We're committed to creating spaces where everyone is respected for who they are and can access support without judgement.

Youth homelessness can occur because a guardian may not respect a young person's gender identity or sexual orientation. It's crucial that we all let them know they are loved, safe and free from judgement at all times. Care and love goes a long way, Llamau are always by your side 🏳️‍🌈
