April 2026
“Election countdown: setting the agenda on youth homelessness”
Thousands of young Victorians experience homelessness each year. They continue to be let down by a system that is not designed for them. With the Victorian election only months away, now is a critical time to put youth homelessness reform prominently on the agenda. Launching to coincide with Youth Homelessness Matters Day (15 April 2026), this edition will act as a handbook on the policy priorities and opportunities that will help end youth homelessness in our state.
Pitches due 6 February; full submissions due by 2 March. Send to parity@chp.org.au
