Brina Hinton, a 41-year-old mother who experienced homelessness at 16 and survived cycles of exploitation, prison, and domestic violence, credits a vital support program for her six years of sobriety — and now she’s in Canberra urging politicians to act. Through the Keeping Families Together Initiative, she received housing, mental health care, and addiction counseling while keeping custody of her son. But Hinton warns that support must continue beyond a roof — because without integrated, long-term services, vulnerable people like her slip back into crisis. As Homelessness Australia reports a 6% surge in women and girls seeking help — with 14% now remaining homeless after initial aid — CEO Kate Colvin calls for federal leadership to bridge gaps between departments and ensure those escaping domestic violence get immediate, sustained safety and care. Without coordinated action, the most vulnerable will keep falling through the cracks.
