Long overdue step to help address #inequality for 300,000 Australians , many of them women, on low incomes. #genderequality #women afr.com/policy/tax-and-super…
Criticism of Grace Tame is sexist and demeaning. The people levelling it just don't get it. #genderequality #endfamilyviolence smh.com.au/national/why-youn…
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…

You can’t talk about the safety of women & not talk about safe, affordable homes. The desperate lack of housing has no focus at #WomenSafetySummit. Each year 39,000 people seek long term housing after experiencing violence. 37,867 miss out #Housing4Safety thenewdaily.com.au/news/2021…
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.

Housing is the foundation of a happy and healthy life. This is Rhonda’s story — a renter with @WPIorg, whose home has given her the stability, confidence and independence to live a life she values 🏡 #HomelessnessWeek21 #EverybodyNeedsAHome
As we near the end of #homelessnessweek2021 it is important to circle back to the real value of social housing, as a foundation for a happy, healthy life. This @HomesVicGov video features Rhonda and her WPI home. Her story speaks for itself.

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
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

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
#budget2021 is positive for childcare & aged care, but not investing in #socialhousing is failing people on low incomes. @anglicare_aust survey found no rentals affordable on Job Seeker. None. A no deposit home loan doesn't help if you cant afford to repay it. #buildsocialhousing
Australian governments have an established track record of stepping in to secure and expand housing during crises to make sure Australians have a home. Why aren't they doing it now? #everybodyshome #buildsocialhousing canberratimes.com.au/story/7… via @canberratimes
