Bob spent two years sleeping rough riding the train of a night between central and Kiama.

After two rough years Bob found secure housing through Together Home, a program dedicated to providing people sleeping rough with long term housing solutions, as well as wrap around support and services.

“I feel very safe. I go home, I’ve got a place to stay and I’ve got no worries about where I’m going to sleep the next night. I don’t have to worry about which train I’ll get tomorrow night. What I’ve got to do (now) is just get a new life, which I’m trying to do.”

Bob shared his story with Sydney Morning Herald in 2020, you can read it here. 

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge Bob’s passing. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Bob’s family and loved ones. We are deeply grateful for Bob’s willingness to share his story, which has helped shape important conversations about housing insecurity.
