According to Paul, the current approach to homelessness prevents us from solving it: “The more we institutionalize it, the more we professionalize homelessness … the further we get away from ending it.” Watch this informative interview! invisiblepeople.tv/homeless-…

We're in the middle of a major housing crisis with evictions and high rents forcing many to lose their homes. But by investing in social housing we could create jobs and make sure that everybody has a safe place to live #everybodyshome #buildsocialhousing
The Brunswick East Entertainment Festival sparked joy dancing in their front yard during lockdown, now they fear they won't be able to find somewhere else to live if they are ousted from their rental property.
@TenantsVic says they won't be alone.

Eileen, who lives with dementia, finds it frustrating when people try to talk over her or finish her sentences. Her advice is simple. “Take time, get my attention and look me in the eye when speaking,” she said. Find out more at lnkd.in/gHt-mxN

This Easter weekend will be different to any others before. You mustn’t go to holiday accomodation or a BnB. Don’t visit relatives or friends or have them over. It’s hard. But if we drop our guard now, all our hard won gains will be lost. #StayHome #SaveLives

Some of the behaviour today - when we’re asking people to stay home - has been really crap. It’s hard to change habits and it’s hard to see dangers that aren’t apparent yet. But with 3,000 cases of COVID in Australia this week, we’re headed to 100,000 in 2-3 weeks without change.

Astounding. Should be a lead story in our media. Morrison Gov will cease Fed Gov funding for Aboriginal housing after current funding agreements expire. This would end a bipartisan agreement that has been in place since 1968 that the Australian Gov has a key role & responsibility
"There's been no debate, no conversation with us - just a unilateral decision taken by the government." - @NACCHOAustralia CEO Pat Turner.
She's told The Drum she understands the federal government will end funding of Indigenous housing, leaving a multi-billion dollar gap.

Beating Bronson from Round the Twist?!?! That’s a competition I never imagined being in. But delighted all the same.

The Age has seen hospital documents confirming a two-year-old girl in immigration detention had a mild head injury after being hit with a blackboard - but the federal government is denying she was injured theage.com.au/national/victo…

Fantastic leadership from @LordMayorMelb and other @CCCLM01 Lord Mayors this week, including @CloverMoore putting #homelessness and the need for more #socialhousing on the federal agenda.
#EverybodysHome #endhomelessness #AUSVote19 @_EverybodysHome
This week @lordmayormelb met with other capital city Lord Mayors to come up with a joint plan on how to address the issue of homelessness and ensure the Federal Government puts it on the national agenda.

The language people use when talking about #homelessness can be dismissive OR - it can help us build understanding & support for change. That's why @CHPVic has free media guidelines for reporting on #homelessness. Get them here: bit.ly/2V5YzW6 #VHMA2019 #EverybodysHome
