The body of a homeless man was found outside a men’s shelter in Adelaide over the weekend. The man, who was identified as 80-year-old Dominic, was discovered inside his car in Whitemore Square.
His friends and family believe he died due to the extremely cold temperatures that the city experienced the night before.
According to Damian, who lives in the shelter, he saw a man inside a vehicle before the bus pulled up.
It’s believed that the man was found in a white Toyota Landcruiser. Some of the people who visited the St. Vincent’s facility said that the elderly individual rarely ventured outside.
According to Thomas, who worked at the facility, he was shocked by the man’s death. He said that the elderly individual was a very polite person.
The police noted that the death was not suspicious. A report will be submitted to the coroner.
This incident occurred just days before a major announcement regarding the allocation of $9.3 billion for the construction of social housing was made.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese noted that he had personally experienced the transformative power of a secure roof over one’s head.
Julie Collins, the Minister for Housing and Homelessness, noted that the agreement aimed to deliver more homes in more areas of Australia.
It also included a doubling of the Commonwealth’s funding for the program.
According to Ms Collins, the agreement with the states and territories would provide much-needed resources to address the issue of homelessness in Australia.
It also aims to help build more homes. The minister noted that the partnership between the government and the states was a significant step in addressing the country’s housing challenges.
The minister noted that the collaboration between the states and the federal government was the best way to ensure that Australians have a safe and secure place to live.
This is why the partnership is at the heart of the Homes for Australia plan, which aims to build 1.2 million new homes by the end of 2020.
The South Australian government has also declared a Code Blue emergency in response to the increasing number of people experiencing homelessness.
