11.01.2022 The COVID-19 outbreaks in the social housing towers in Melbourne were handled extremely poorly. From the OTT police presence to the lack of appropriate food relief, our government was completely negligent towards the complex needs of those living in social housing. COVID-19 is a disadvantage amplifier, disproportionately affecting marginalised communities. So it is especially concerning to learn that residents in the affected towers had been calling for better resourcing for ...months. This negligence has not emerged only now in the face of a global crisis, these failings are indicative of pre-existing systemic weaknesses that see marginalised communities fall through the cracks. Part of this problem is in poor social housing design and investment. Social housing prioritised ASAP - dwellings need to be safe, accessible and appropriate for residents under any circumstances.
