Words matter! #socialhousing is an umbrella term, covering both #publichousing and #communityhousing - which are not the same. We're often asked the difference, so we thought this infographic might be handy post #vicbudget2020

It's always great when @DougCameron51 is speaking about housing. Today at @_EverybodysHome Peoples Commission day 1: "Restoring #publichousing as a legitimate and important component of the Australian housing sector must be a priority for all Governments."

Thanks @10NewsFirstMelb for sharing the amazing work the community and Troy do down in South Melbourne. They’re feeding thousands of people every week. #publichousing
A remarkable resident of one of Melbourne's public housing towers is working around the clock to source donated food to create a community pantry, which feeds thousands. The program was launched with government funding but has since run dry | @CandiceWyatt10

Our community needs public housing. We are calling on the Victorian Government to reverse its decision to have all public housing towers torn down by 2051. The estates in Flemington, North Melbourne and Carlton are the first sites planned to go by 2031 imcl.org.au/news/media-relea…
The Housing Statement is out. There are some positive steps forward, but the big question is - who will manage the new homes replacing our existing high rises? These homes have always been #publichousing, they must stay that way. 👀our full response 🔗 vpta.org.au/the-victorian-go…

A positive step forward today, with a further 769 new homes for Victorians on the waiting list on the way. We continue to advocate for these new homes to be publicly managed #publichousing. theguardian.com/australia-ne…
Not a moment too soon! 🎉🎉🎉
Thrilled that a pipeline of federal funding for stock growth has been secured. Now to make sure as many homes as possible can be publicly owned and managed, proper #publichousing

Victoria's #publichousing renters deserve access to solar panels on their homes to keep their energy costs down. People are being forced to make difficult decisions everyday just to eat and pay their bills. abc.net.au/news/2023-08-02/s… @VCOSS

The Commonwealth Games are a golden opportunity to leave a meaningful and significant housing legacy for Victoria.
But the Games also come at a critical time—we’re already dealing with ballooning rents and a shortage of public and community housing.

Renters hotline 'overwhelmed' as Melbourne prices skyrocket - ABC Melbourne abc.net.au/melbourne/program…
Refreshing to hear someone say the quiet bit out loud - some people did well out of the pandemic, and landlords are some of them. #VCOSSpallas

Dear landlords,
Renters are not cash cows.
If you’re lucky enough to own an investment property, you’re doing ~okay~.
It would be utterly unfair and unjustified to pass on land tax increases to your tenants.

For the sake of clarity, Victorians are eligible for:
💰 $250 under Victoria’s Power Saving Bonus scheme, plus
💰 $250 in bill subsidies from the Commonwealth (though only for some households).
For a grand maximum of $500. – at Sunbury, Victoria
