Domestic and family violence is the leading cause of homelessness for women. Every year, thousands of women are returning to perpetrators or becoming homeless because there is nowhere affordable for them to live. Sign our petition today: everybodyshome.com.au/end-homelessne… #HW2024

It breaks our hearts to see sector leaders like Emma from @NationalShelter & Kate from @HomelessnessAus undertake vital analytical, collaborative, conduit & systemic advocacy work on the national stage - with $0 funding from #Auspol in a #housingcrisis Platitudes don't pay bills

The futures of @HomelessnessAus and the Whitlam-era @NationalShelter are becoming more uncertain in a Coalition-era funding squeeze that, to the surprise of advocates, continues under Labor. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/… via @SatPaper 🖊️ @KJBar

Failing to restore funding for @HomelessnessAus & @NationalShelter in the middle of a housing crisis risks losing key data & advocacy we need more than ever. I urge govt to reconsider support to ensure they can survive & keep doing their invaluable work. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/…

🧵 ACOSS is calling on the government to: 1. #Raisetherate of Jobseeker and related payments to at least $80 a day 2. In addition to lifting base rates of income support, increase the maximum threshold for CRA by 60% 3. Limit negative gearing and reduce the capital gains discount

At a time when the national median weekly rent is $627 a week, an increase to rent assistance alone isn't enough to prevent people being forced into homelessness.

You can catch me talking about the urgent action needed in #Budget2024 to provide safe homes so women can flee violence at 8.06am Wednesday on @RNBreakfast
