Its Anti-Poverty Week & we're joining @ACOSS & @_EverybodysHome to ask the Federal Gov to raise income support above the poverty line & invest in social housing. Its the right thing to do. Sign the petition everybodyshome.com.au/anti-p… #apw2021 #buildsocialhousing #raisetherateforgood

It’s #EqualPayDay! Australia’s gender pay gap is 14.2%. That means women earned more than $13,000 less than men last financial year. Over time this has devastating effects on a woman's financial security & leads to housing insecurity & homelessness. #GenderPayGap. @WGEAgency

Unaffordable rents create homelessness. A recent Anglicare survey shows that out of 74K rental listings across Australia, 859 affordable on minimum wage & 3 affordable on Job Seeker. Homes are the foundation for happy, healthy live. #HW2021 #buildsocialhousing #everybodyshome

Poverty & housing crisis increases the likelihood that children will experience physical & mental health problems, social isolation, poor educational outcomes, behavioural problems and homelessness in adulthood. #buildsocialhousing and we can break this cycle. @_EverybodysHome

27,680 Australians aged 12-24 are homeless every night. If we #buildsocialhousing it isnt just shelter. Its a foundation for young people to become happy, healthy and productive. It disrupts the intergenerational cycle of poverty. Priceless! @_EverybodysHome #HomelessnessWeek2021

Family violence is the leading reason women & kids seek help for homelessness. Access Economics found the lack of long-term social housing leads to 7690 women a year returning to violent partners & 9120 becoming homeless #homelessnessweek21 #BuildSocialHousing @_EverybodysHome

It's #HomelessnessWeek21. We're joining @Everybodyshome to shine a light on the huge need for social housing in Australia & what building more of it would mean for the many, many people living in housing crisis. Sign the petition bit.ly/2VrRLD9 #buildsocialhousing

Please get vaccinated so we can get back to the things and the people that we love. @VCOSS

Women fleeing homes due to domestic and family violence should have a safe space to go. Due to a shortage of social housing however, thousands don't. Sign the @_EverybodysHome petition & ask federal government to #BuildSocialHousing #Everybodyshome everybodyshome.com.au/build-…

@timpallas outlining some very positive measures in #vicbudget2021 at the @VCOSS post budget #vcosspallas

Much needed pending on aged care & child care in #Budget2021 but single, older women who don't own a home were ignored. Our fastest growing group of homeless. No investment in #socialhousing. No rise in Job Seeker or CRA. They deserve better. #buildsocialhousing #everybodyshome
