“With a chronic shortage of appropriate housing, and over 4500 people currently on the Housing Register, homelessness in our community is at crisis point,” said a Hobart City Mission spokesperson.
Hobart’s C3 Church is the leading fund-raising team, with over $22,000 in donations.
The Bartel Family are sitting at second place with $15,415.
