A growing number of single-parent families in Australia are struggling to find affordable and secure housing, leading to what's being described as an "almost hidden crisis." Skyrocketing housing costs, coupled with stagnant wages and limited government support, are pushing many single parents into housing stress or even homelessness. The crisis is particularly acute in regions like Port Macquarie and the state of New South Wales (NSW), where rental vacancies are low and competition for affordable properties is fierce. The lack of stable housing has significant consequences for the well-being of both parents and children, impacting their education, health, and overall quality of life.
