Victorian Public Tenants Association

We are the peak body for #publichousing in Victoria, existing tenants and those on the VHR.

Words matter! #socialhousing is an umbrella term, covering both #publichousing and #communityhousing - which are not the same. We're often asked the difference, so we thought this infographic might be handy post #vicbudget2020

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.

It's always great when @DougCameron51 is speaking about housing. Today at @_EverybodysHome Peoples Commission day 1: "Restoring #publichousing as a legitimate and important component of the Australian housing sector must be a priority for all Governments."

Thanks @10NewsFirstMelb for sharing the amazing work the community and Troy do down in South Melbourne. They’re feeding thousands of people every week. #publichousing

A remarkable resident of one of Melbourne's public housing towers is working around the clock to source donated food to create a community pantry, which feeds thousands. The program was launched with government funding but has since run dry | @CandiceWyatt10

Day 1 of @CHPVic Victorian Homelessness Conference about to kick off!

[Inner Melbourne Community Legal (IMCL) @IMelbCL]

Our community needs public housing. We are calling on the Victorian Government to reverse its decision to have all public housing towers torn down by 2051. The estates in Flemington, North Melbourne and Carlton are the first sites planned to go by 2031 https://t.co/k2AJpQBqtc

The Housing Statement is out. There are some positive steps forward, but the big question is - who will manage the new homes replacing our existing high rises? These homes have always been #publichousing, they must stay that way. 👀our full response 🔗 https://t.co/LOeLJMhudj

@kyra_gillespie @SonyaKilkenny @TenantsVic @mbavic @VTICnews @BrendanCoates @calmarshall2 @atsbgovau Thanks for having us! As with everything, the devil is in the detail. We need to deliver better quality homes for renters, so renewal is welcome. But these have always been #publichousing homes, and they must stay that way!

A positive step forward today, with a further 769 new homes for Victorians on the waiting list on the way. We continue to advocate for these new homes to be publicly managed #publichousing. https://t.co/eiJlz7mxSR

Not a moment too soon! 🎉🎉🎉
Thrilled that a pipeline of federal funding for stock growth has been secured. Now to make sure as many homes as possible can be publicly owned and managed, proper #publichousing

Victoria's #publichousing renters deserve access to solar panels on their homes to keep their energy costs down. People are being forced to make difficult decisions everyday just to eat and pay their bills. https://t.co/gAaN1L7Cyh @VCOSS

Excited to hear a great conversation about #housing (hopefully) live tonight at @QandA with our colleagues from @VCOSS

[VCOSS @VCOSS]

The Commonwealth Games are a golden opportunity to leave a meaningful and significant housing legacy for Victoria.

But the Games also come at a critical time—we’re already dealing with ballooning rents and a shortage of public and community housing.

Refreshing to hear someone say the quiet bit out loud - some people did well out of the pandemic, and landlords are some of them. #VCOSSpallas

@VCOSS 2023 Budget week coming to a close with the VCOSS Treasurer’s Lunch. #VCOSSpallas

[VCOSS @VCOSS]

Dear landlords,

Renters are not cash cows.

If you’re lucky enough to own an investment property, you’re doing ~okay~.

It would be utterly unfair and unjustified to pass on land tax increases to your tenants.
