Call for homeless friendly precincts
In Homeless Friendly Precincts:
“Georgatos describes homeless friendly precincts “as a sliver of human dignity” and the “least we can do, that is if we believe ourselves pursuant ofĀ a civil society”. Georgatos writes prolifically for The Stringer, a site edited by media academic and PhD researcher,Ā Jennifer Kaeshagen. But The Stringer is no ordinary online news site. The Stringer is all about campaigning for one cause after another, about working to a better world. Kaeshagen is also the founder of the First Nations Homelessness Project and securesĀ homes, shelter and essential resourcesĀ for chronically homeless families and individuals.”
“Georgatos has stated that these homeless friendly precincts should be in āevery major hub of every Australian city and townā. he argues that these precincts can be as little as āa few hundred square metresā of āsmall storage lockers, showers, laundries, a treatment space, rest areaā and where providers can come to assist the homeless. He said these precincts could organiseĀ rostered services such as a barber. But he said that they can grow to be much more including extended precincts āof disused public dwellingsā where food halls can provide meals with dignity, where beds can be provided. He stated that there are many disused public buildings in many locations throughout Perth. He has secured the support of some of Perth’s mayors, of every state politican that he has lobbied so far and he is continuing this charge.” – Louise Tan, journalist.
