Can policy & service settings for single homeless men be improved to meet 21st century realities with 21st century responses? Join us online 21 Oct, 1:30 - 2:30pm, for the launch of the latest Parity edition: "Homeless Single Men: The Forgotten Homeless?" us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…
People on JobSeeker would have to spend 112% of their income to make their rent in Melbourne. And a single person on the minimum wage spends 70% of their income on rent. Those are just some of the findings from the latest Priced Out report: drive.google.com/file/d/1akMqyN…
1 year on from the Housing Statement - with rents in Vic up 13%; 61,587 people on the public housing wait list; and social housing representing only 2.8% of Victoria's housing stock - we're calling on the Government to amend the Housing Statement to set social housing targets.
A new 'Housing Insecurity Index' shows housing conditions on the decline across a series of key indicators. Rents are up and an increasing number of Victorians are seeking help from homelessness services. You can read the full @CHPVic analysis at chp.org.au/wp-content/upl…
On the 1st anniversary of Victoria’s Housing Statement, CHP has released our inaugural Housing Insecurity Index. It finds rents growing at unsustainable rates alongside a stagnation in the proportion of public housing available in Vic. Read more here: chp.org.au/wp-content/upl…
Here's CHP at 16. Hanging with friends. Playing music. Enjoying the safety to explore who we were and dream our future selves into being. All young people should have these things. Send a message now to fix housing for young people at hometime.org.au/action #HomeTime #MeAt16
The @CHPVic Parity journal is looking for international contributions on access to housing for people with a disability and the nexus between disability and homelessness. Interested? Check out their call for contribution: homelesshub.ca/resource/parit…
Thanks to everyone who joined us at @RMIT's @WIDInstitute for the launch of the SHS Workforce Analysis Report. Its findings are sobering but essential, to identify where more support is needed for SHS workers so we can ensure our sector's sustainability: chp.org.au/publication/wi…
"No citizen should be left behind." Here's another of our PESP trainees with a message this Homelessness Week. #homelessnessWeek #homelessnessActionNow #homelessness #endhomelessness
Flashback to Houses At Parliament this time last week, when the sector came together to display 6000 origami houses on the steps of Victorian Parliament, and talk directly to MPs about the urgent need for 60,000 additional social homes to address Victoria's homelessness crisis.
Here's another of our amazing PESP trainees with a thought for you this Homelessness Week. #HomelessnessWeek #HomelessnessActionNow
CHP's Peer Education Support Program supports people who've been without a home to advocate about the issues behind homelessness, working within a facilitated and supportive peer group. We asked our current PESP trainees what message they wanted to share this #HomelessnessWeek.
It's #HomelessnessWeek - 7 days of events and discussions to build community support and government commitment for "Homelessness Action Now". And CHP is hosting 3 great, free events that we'd love you to join. Find out more at: chp.org.au/article/join-c…
It's "Houses at Parliament" day! 6000 origami houses will displayed on the steps of Parliament (and 60,000 throughout the state) to represent the 60,000 additional social homes needed to meet current need. You can join the proceedings live online from 1pm: youtube.com/@VictorianHome…
CHP is thrilled to welcome Sarah Brinkhege, who will be Guest Editor for a milestone edition of Parity this October: “After The Voice: First Nations Responses to Homelessness”. Find out more: chp.org.au/article/sarah-…
The Department of Families, Fairness & Housing is looking for community services organisations interested in partnering on the exciting, new Community and Social Services Graduate Program (CASS GP). Applications close this Friday. Find out more: vic.gov.au/community-and-…
