Scott Endersby, 49, was just a child when he began sleeping rough, a situation he would only escape during stints spent in jail during the decades that followed. But a chance encounter would result in a new best friend, giving him the strength to land when his life “backflipped” three years ago. While Australia has transformed since the late 1980s when Endersby first hit the streets of Illawarra at age 14, he said his experience of homelessness remained largely unvaried.
“I got myself clean, I got myself into a private rental with my best mate, I got myself a full-time job.” But he said he couldn’t do it alone. He credits his strength to stay on the straight and narrow to his fresh start in Sydney, his support worker from Wayside Chapel, Joe Ireland, and his best friend Jason, who he said “has had a rough life, like me”.
