New video discusses Michael Project report - the most comprehensive snapshot into homeless men in Australia

Mission Australia regularly publishes snapshots, policy submissions and major reports on key social issues.

The latest report, Increasing our understanding of homeless men: The Michael Project is "the most in-depth and comprehensive snapshot of homeless men in Australia available" according to Anne Hampshire, National Manager of Mission Australia's Research & Social Policy unit.

"Getting an accurate picture of the men involved in The Michael Project – their homelessness history, their physical and mental health, their education and employment backgrounds, how many times they'd had contact with the justice system – was essential if we were going to be able to chart their progress," said Ms Hampshire recently.

In our latest video, Anne is interviewed about the findings in the new report and discusses the details behind the project - good viewing for anyone interested in the reality of life for homeless men in Australia.
