Committee for Melbourne supports Give Me Shelter

Committee for Melbourne is a proud supporter of Give Me Shelter, a ground-breaking report that outlines the significant costs of not addressing the chronic shortage of affordable, public and social housing in Australia.

Commissioned by Housing All Australians (HAA), and authored by Robert Pradolin SGS Economics and Planning, the economic study shows decades of underinvestment by governments in “non-market” housing has led to social housing numbers falling to record lows – just 4 per cent of national housing stock, compared with 6 per cent in 1996.

Give Me Shelter clearly demonstrates the underlying business case for greater investment in affordable, public and social housing.
