Who are Real News? The Real News Network (TRNN) produces independent, verifiable, fact-based journalism that engages ordinary people in solving the critical problems of our times. We examine the underlying causes of the chronic problems, and investigate and report on
effective solutions and models for change. People who fight for human rights and work for solutions are newsmakers. We believe that real change will be driven by the people who need it most.
What is Homeless? Homelessness is defined as living in housing that is below the minimum standard or lacks secure tenure. People can be categorized as homeless if they are: living on the streets (primary homelessness); moving between temporary shelters, including
houses of friends, family and emergency accommodation (secondary homelessness); living in private boarding houses without a private bathroom or security of tenure (tertiary homelessness).
