Victoria is at a crossroads. With homelessness on the rise and thousands waiting for a safe place to call home, the Council to Homeless Persons’ 2025–26 Victorian Budget Submission lays out a clear, achievable roadmap to end homelessness. We’re calling for strategic investments in social housing, targeted support for young people, women, Aboriginal communities, and LGBTIQ+ Victorians, and funding for proven programs that keep people housed. This isn’t just about housing—it’s about dignity, safety, and building a fairer Victoria where no one is left behind. Read the full submission and see how we can make ending homelessness a reality.
