Submission to the Parliamentary Inquiry into the rental and housing affordability crisis in Victoria

Victoria’s housing crisis may be severe, but it shouldn’t be a surprise to policy makers. Housing and homelessness advocates have been warning for years that this is the direction in which we have been heading. Now that we have arrived, it is incumbent on State and Federal Governments to recognise the scale of need. Transformative change is needed. This is the most important moment in living memory to get housing policy right.
