14.01.2022 We want to share this comment by Jan Grey in response to an article about developers saying that social and community housing brings the neighbourhood down ... well said Jan.

12.01.2022 Shock-Jock Neil Mitchell talks to Bernadene Voss, Mayor, City of Port Phillip about an unfortunate homelessness situation at Elwood Beach, and faced with reasoned, compassionate and sensible responses from City Of Port Phillip, this 'media story' is laid bare as a sensationalist, divisive beat up, not looking for solutions, just ratings. Well done Bernadene Voss.

08.01.2022 Homelessness rates in NZ are among the worst in the developed world - so PM Jacinda Ardern pledged $100m in emergency housing assistance to ensure that no one will sleep on the streets this winter. #FairHousingAus

07.01.2022 More evidence that - given a choice - people choose not to move too far from the place they are familiar with and have connections. Unfortunately, choice is more and more a luxury in this housing market, and many people rely on services like ours to stay in their own communities. #fairhousingaus Real Estate Institute of Victoria [REIV] President Richard Simpson: It’s quite common for people to move to an adjoining suburb, or just stay within the suburb. If they’re living in a suburb, they’ve probably got friends and family close by and they’re used to the amenities, infrastructure and services. And people who have got existing ties to schools and work don’t tend to move very far away.

07.01.2022 PPHA CEO - The upgrade of the Regal accommodation facility is a great outcome delivering a sustainable long-term future for this property, as well as maintaining our capacity to support vulnerable people in the St Kilda community.

02.01.2022 On Friday, Vic Housing Minister Martin Foley MP formally opened our newly renovated rooming house 'Elenara' at 2 Fitzroy Street - St Kilda. The historic former seaside hotel built 100 years ago, close to St Kilda Beach, has for most of its life housed vulnerable residents, and has been integral to our local community housing service. The valuable site had been threatened with sale under the previous government. Only after a passionate campaign by over 3,000 locals, and promis...es made by the incoming government, were we not only able to #SaveElenara, but - thanks to a multi-million dollar State Government upgrade grant - the building has been converted into modern, self contained living units. The building has been returned to our lease - and is now already occupied with tenants, making it home. It is a great example of a state-of-the-art, clean, warm, safe rooming house featuring solar panels, solar hydronic heating and security and intercom systems. It is a model for social housing development in this state. Photos include a previous tour by the St Kilda Community Housing board prior to tenancy, and the opening on Friday attended by reps from City Of Port Phillip, Port Phillip Community Group, SouthPort UnitingCare, Port Phillip Housing Association, Star Health, the Victorian Government and many other local agencies and services. Thanks for supporting the St Kilda Community Housing: Save Elenara Campaign!
