    If [this comment](https://old.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/1hu1aut/how_the_housing_crisis_is_pushing_domestic/m5iqvkz/) is anything to go by, the problem is even worse than the article explains

    >This article doesn’t say half of how bad it is. I was made homeless with my daughter due to family violence and abuse and the hotel they say people get? What they leave out is that it’s for less than a week and then you’re on your own.

    >I’ve been on waitlists for a couple of emergency accommodation shelters for a year now. A YEAR. This is 3rd month sleeping rough for us and there’s literally 0 support. I’m using money I took from my superannuation to be able to afford a tent site in a caravan park. I shudder to think what I’m gonna do when that money runs out. We’ll be sleeping sitting up in a hot car with nowhere to shower or make food.
