Helping more women into housing

Every Victorian deserves the dignity of a safe, secure, and stable place to call home. But increasingly, women are missing out.

Building more homes and delivering more support

Truly tackling Australia’s housing crisis requires recognition that it affects women differently.

We know women are particularly vulnerable to homelessness. Women over 55 have been the fastest growing cohort experiencing homelessness in Australia.

It’s why we’re continuing to invest to support more Victorians – especially women – into housing.

This year's Budget delivers:

  • $61 million for services to help people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
  • $24 million to help plan a total of 50 activity centres around train and tram stops that will enable an extra 300,000 homes.

This funding takes vital steps towards achieving our goal of increasing the supply of homes in Victoria – including for women and their families.
