CHP Election Priorities Guide

CHP’s Election Priorities Guide 2026 is out now. It outlines the forward-thinking, community-building responses that will end Victoria’s homelessness crisis and ensure the every Victorian has a safe home to build their future.

We urge Victoria’s political candidates in November’s State Election to choose to prioritise these responses in their commitments. And we ask Victorians to choose to give their votes to those candidates who put housing fairness first.

Support people to enrol to vote before Tuesday 3 November

The Victorian election is coming up on Saturday 28 November. People experiencing homelessness have the right to vote, just like any other Victorian citizen over the age of 18.

You can support someone to check or update their enrolment before the electoral roll closes on Tuesday 3 November.

They may have to fill out a ‘no fixed address’ form either online or on paper. Here’s how you can help them ahead of the election.

Walk in Her Shoes final Statewide Community Insights Report launched at Parliament House

Across 12 months and 12 cities, the Walk In Her Shoes exhibition and forum series engaged thousands of Victorians in meaningful conversations about homelessness and how we can end it in this state.

At every stop on the tour, community members shared with us their priorities for homelessness action. We’ve gathered all that they told us in the Walk In Her Shoes Statewide Community Insights Report, which we presented at a very special event at Parliament House in September.

Read the report to learn about the five key actions Victorians want taken to end homelessness.

Resources to help you record Unassisted Persons data

When someone seeks help from a homelessness service but their request cannot be met, that experience matters. Yet, in 2024–25 in Victoria, almost 16,000 Unassisted Person records were missing information.

CHP has worked with the sector to develop useful resources to help you and your team remember how to accurately complete an Unassisted Persons record.

More consistent recording strengthens both local understanding of unmet demand and the broader picture of pressure across Victoria’s homelessness service system.
