About the pledge:
The Coalition for Housing Diversity is a group of
non-market housing advocates and housing providers working to create a
more equitable Melbourne and believe that housing for all Australians is
an essential infrastructure that is the basis for a future prosperous
Australia.
The coalition recognises the critical shortage of non-market housing
supply, and the need to deliver more housing for more people across all of
Melbourne, especially to those most vulnerable.
As part of the 2024 Victorian Council elections, we will be asking all
candidates across Melbourne to make a single pledge which recognises the
important role that local government has in creating the additional
housing supply required. Otherwise, the social and economic impacts that a
lack of sufficient housing will create will significantly erode the
quality of life of future generations.
For the purposes of this pledge, diverse housing options include: public
housing, community housing, disability housing, key/essential worker
housing, cohousing, retirement housing, crisis accommodation, women’s
shelters, supported and disability living, and other non-market housing
options.
