  • Growing number of Australian families forced to sleep in cars due to cost of living crisis
A growing number of families in Queensland are being forced to sleep in their cars due to the rental crisis and rising cost of living.
Several councils have implemented new strategies to help including funding a sleeping bus and providing shower options, Sky News reported.

Those affected by the housing crisis are predominantly families and young people, where homeless parents are facing the risk of losing custody of their children.

St Vincent de Paul in Queensland has resorted to paying car registration fees to help families stay together.
