The ‘towers’ are people’s homes...not just a headline: 3000 + #publichousing tenants in Melb. face intense challenge in lockdown, care must be taken to balance rights with health protections. Social & cultural supports are key. With other orgs we will monitor @jenbeveridge3

Survivors of #familyviolence and their children are allowed to leave hard lockdown to seek help. Specialist family violence services are available to assist. Contact Safe Steps on 1800 015 188 or [email protected] #COVID19Vic

We've heard from many public estate tenants who are unsure how to get help, or where they can ask questions.

Two residents' hotlines have now been established. ☎️

Please share widely.

Overcrowding + Pandemic was always a disaster waiting to happen: This pandemic has brought home some hard truths. Our housing is critical to our health.
35,000 people live in crowded dwellings because there are no other housing options that are affordable.

The Victorian Government has announced a series of measures to make things easier for public housing tenants facing lockdown.

Please share. #SpringSt

The Government’s decision to give $688 million of cash grants for private home renovations and home construction is gut wrenching when there are 116,000 Australians with no home at all. Investing in social housing is a smarter use of taxpayer money. https://t.co/nn0iDpjN86

Today is Youth #homelessness Matters Day. This year we're asking people to finish the sentence "With a home a young person could..."
We asked young people the same question. Please RT and tell the world what a young person can do with a home! #YHMD2020 #everybodyshome

[Eastern Homelessness Network @ehnnetworker]

Wed 15 April is #YHMD2020. 1-in-4 homeless Australians are under the age of 25. Underlying all homelessness is a lack of affordable housing. Young people who can’t live with their family need housing plus support to get back on track. It’s that simple. #everybodyshome

[Council to Homeless Persons @CHPVic]

Crashing on people’s couches leaves young people vulnerable to being taken advantage of. With a home they can choose who they share their living space with. But there’s not enough housing in Australia that young people can afford if they’re forced out of home #YHMD2020

[Council to Homeless Persons @CHPVic]

Great news that special accommodation with onsite support created for vulnerable #homeless persons who need to recover from #COVID19au or self-isolate. @rwynnemp @DanielAndrewsMP @StVHealthAust @AnglicareVic @Brotherhoodinfo @LaunchHousing @ScdHrtMission

This Christmas don’t just support superficial charity responses to #homelessness - we need to call on our MPs to end it!!

Great article by @1chrishartley @TheMandarinAU https://t.co/QClZ8NieVN

[Council to Homeless Persons @CHPVic]

New @aihw statistics show more women, more single parents, and more children don't have a safe or stable place to call home.

On the fifth day of Christmas.... we're standing with our Aboriginal brothers and sisters.❤️🖤💛

A great Christmas gift would be to ensure Treaty and
self-determination are genuinely led by Aboriginal people.

Why are community organisations funded on ridiculously short timeframes, when their work eradicating poverty and disadvantage is a looooooooong battle?

On the fourth day of Christmas, we want an end to 'drip funding'. 🚱

We're huge fan of French hens. 🐔🐔🐔

But to mark the third day of Christmas we're calling for frontline community service organisation funding to be pegged to the true cost of delivering services.
