lack of housing

Today i came face to face again with the issue of Adelaide not having enough emergency housing. Once again there is someone squatting out the front of my place, his a great guy, he has some issues at the moment, and i have had the opportunity to chat with him a couple of times, which has been cool. He needs some pray, so please pray for him.
Tonight i also met a couple out at the soup run, who are using all their money to stay in a hotel, they have had no fixed address for about a year, and have been in Adelaide for a couple of months. In the past she has been attacked and had her throat cut, so they don't really want to stay on the street... understandably.
Adelaide has 2 emergency shelters for adults, one for male, the other for female. There is no emergency accomodation for couples, fathers with their kids, there also isn't any accommodation for people getting out of prision.
I Hate meeting people on the street who have no where to stay, and i wish i lived in a big house (with others) in which i could just invite people to stay with us til they can get somewhere to live. I hate having a house with 3 spare beds, when i know people sleeping out side... majority of them guys.
Just down the road from me the Salvationn Army own a multi storey building which til recently was am age care facility, which is now empty, cause the age care moved... At the moment the building is not allowed to be used for anything, as it is not up to fire code, However the leaders of the Salvo in South Aus haven't even decided what to do with the place, there are so many ideas being tossed around, and nothing is being done, so at the moment nothing is being done about it getting up to fire codes standards. They aren't even sure if they want to spend the money to get it up to standard.
To me the decision is easy... the need is there for more accomodation... not just emergency, but also affordable... let's help meet it.....
