25.01.2022 The new Federal housing & homelessness funding agreement has come into effect & it doesn't provide a single extra dollar, despite rising homelessness. The government won't stem the tide of homelessness without more funding for social and affordable housing #EverybodysHome

24.01.2022 ‘It’s not rocket sciencethe basic idea is you have to provide permanent housing solutions.’ Finnish Housing First expert Juha Kaakinen explains the core principles that have dramatically reduced homelessness in Finland - we hope our Government learns from their successes #HW2018

24.01.2022 The number of employed Australians who sought homelessness help has risen by nearly 30% in the past three years. It's probably no surprise, as last year wages g...rew by just 2.1% while housing inflation grew by 3.4%. When even employed people aren't making ends meet, the system is clearly failing. See more

23.01.2022 The 2018 Budget is short-sighted and heartless. Federal homelessness & housing funding is to drop to the lowest level in a decade while we’re in the middle of a homelessness crisis. It truly is a tragedy for the 116,000 Australians without homes and, the thousands more on the brink of losing theirs. HA MEDIA RELEASE: https://bit.ly/2jILAVu

23.01.2022 If the Welfare 'Reform' Bill passes this week, it will cause a flood of homelessness. Anybody interested in preventing homelessness should write or call Nick Xenophon's team and ask them to take a stand against a bill that will strip Centrelink payments from many people who are already on the brink.

21.01.2022 'We here in Australia don't have a dole-bludger problem what we have is a society that is unnecessarily cruel'. Deloitte Access Economics senior partner Chris Richardson has called for a $50 p/w rise in unemployment benefits, saying that the low payments are a 'standout failure of our nation.'

21.01.2022 Christine was left without a home when she left a dysfunctional relationship, taking her seven-year-old daughter with her. Here's her perspective.

18.01.2022 To really fight homelessness and housing insecurity, Australia needs an extra 730,000 social housing dwellings within the next 20 years. If we're ever going to reach that, we need action right now | Research from Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute - AHURI https://theconversation.com/australias-social-housing-polic

16.01.2022 The latest figures on Homelessness have been released and they're frightening. There are now more than 116,000 Australians without homes - up from 102,000 in 2011. Despite that, we still don't have a national plan to address homelessness.

16.01.2022 We need to make the housing system work properly for people who are buying a home, not just an investment portfolio. And it is possible. Our Government can reset the tax system, making it fairer for first-home buyers, rather than investors. So that everyone can have a home https://bit.ly/2FUcjru

16.01.2022 Renting just got a whole lot fairer in Victoria thanks to the success of the #MakeRentingFair campaign.

Congrats to Victorian tenants, the Make Renting Fair Campaign and everyone out there who supported it!

15.01.2022 Some numbers: - Homelessness rose in Australia by 14% in 5 years - 200,000 people are waiting for social housing - Despite that, there has been no increase in federal funding for housing & homelessness - #HW2018 is in 1 week and we’ll be asking state and federal governments to fix the broken housing system.

14.01.2022 The media has the power to shape how we respond to people experiencing homelessness. When reporting on homelessness is derogatory and simplistic, it leads to equally bad responses

10.01.2022 Nearly 40% of the homeless population is under 25 years old. Youth homelessness has been allowed to get worse over the past decade - the next decade must be different!

08.01.2022 161 people experiencing homelessness, or at risk welfare recipients received financial sanctions between July-September last year. People without homes need help, not punishment.

08.01.2022 Good to see a major party considering raising Newstart. It really is "a barrier to people finding work and participating in society"

07.01.2022 710,000 Australians a month use Foodbank including people experiencing homelessness, and people at risk of it. These cuts come just weeks before Christmas and will particularly affect people in regional areas

04.01.2022 If you’re chatting about Filthy Rich and Homeless remember to tell everyone that the key drivers behind the homelessness crisis are a lack of affordable housing and domestic violence. And if they want to help, they should sign the Everybody's Home petition everybodyshome.com.au/petition/

03.01.2022 Seven things in the Federal Budget that will create more homelessness

03.01.2022 "The government currently spends $11.8 billion on housing assistance for property investors through negative gearing and capital gains tax exemptions almost twice as much as it spends on social housing, rent assistance and homelessness put together" - Everybody's Home spokesperson Kate Colvin on last night's budget

02.01.2022 Australia's housing system is broken - 116,000 people are now homeless, and thousands are in housing stress. That's why the Everybody's Home campaign is calling... for long-overdue action from our Government. Will you join us? Add your voice to the call for a housing system that meets the needs of ALL Australians. Just head to: http://everybodyshome.com.au/?refer=counciltohomelesspersons See more

02.01.2022 Why is the election campaign ignoring the homelessness crisis? It's a good question when 116,000 Australians are without homes

02.01.2022 Want to know which electorates have the highest rates of rental stress in the country? The results may surprise you! The Top 20 list of electorate with the hig...hest rates of rental stress is dominated by Western Sydney, the NSW north coast and South Eastern Queensland - but rental stress is being felt right across the country. Time to call out all parties to fix the broken housing system.

01.01.2022 The new report shows that nation-wide, public housing is 97% occupied. But there are nearly 190,000 Australians in need of housing on the waitlists. How long will they have to wait?

01.01.2022 The Victorian State Government just announced a $45 million dollar plan to help rough sleepers find support and to break the cycle of homelessness. We hope that other governments around Australia are taking note of what it looks like to take homelessness seriously

01.01.2022 Homelessness in Australia has risen by 30% in a decade. It's frightening, but, homelessness IS solvable. This crisis was made by bad policy and it can be fixed ...by good ones. Join us in the Everybody's Home campaign and show your support for ending homelessness in Australia https://bit.ly/2MletDD #HW2018 See more
