On any night an estimated 105,237 Australians are homeless, and 2000 of them are believed to be on the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston.

You can do something about that.

Fusion Australia is asking you to give up your home for a night, in order to help someone else find theirs.

On Saturday, August 5, join Fusion Mornington Peninsula for Sleep In Your Car 2017 and join a line of local heroes who have slept out in Mornington Park. The Mornington Peninsula event, held during Homelessness Week, aims to raise $30,000 towards changing the lives of vulnerable young people in our community.

Sleep in your car or sleep rough and for those unable to sleep out, join Fusion Mornington Peninsula from 5.30pm to learn about homelessness in our community and break down some of the stereotypes around young people experiencing it.

Stuart Bell, housing co-ordinator at Fusion Mornington Peninsula, explains: "With the closure of caravan parks across the Peninsula, what has traditionally been an affordable and accessible form of accommodation is largely no longer available. With people now competing for available rental properties, young people may find successfully accessing a tenancy extremely difficult, if not impossible.”
