I think its even more worrying that kids under the age of 15 can’t get into refuges at all (and there are growing numbers of homeless kids under 15 years old), because legislatively, refuges aren’t allowed to.
There are 11 and 12 year old homeless kids out there who are lucky if they get a tent from a youth centre, because there’s nothing else.
