$45 million, two-year continued investment for ACT specialist homelessness services.
The ACT is bucking a national trend with homelessness reducing in our community, even as our population grows. We are also leading the nation in employment and training outcomes for people accessing homelessness support services.
National Shelter, Community Sector Banking, SGS Economics and Planning and the Brotherhood of St Laurence have released the National Rental Affordability Index biannually since 2015. It is an indicator of the relative affordability or otherwise of private rental homes with a particular focus on households in income quintiles 1 and 2.
What we want to achieve in the long-term in a perfect world. ACT Shelter believes that housing is a human right. Our vision is that everyone’s home be recognised as the safe, secure, affordable, sustainable foundation to well-being.
