Housing Ends Homelessness

On Wednesday July 31, 2024, member agencies of the CHHA along with other Homelessness Local Area Support Networks (LASNs) from across the state, and the Council to Homeless Persons (CHP) united under the cry that “Housing Ends Homelessness” and covered the steps of State Parliament with over 6000 origami houses to represent the number of houses Victoria needs to build every year for the next 10 years to end homelessness. The origami houses were folded by community sector practitioners and consumers, and members of the community. The peaceful event included a Welcome to Country, speeches and songs from the Community Choir Vossanova. Media and local Members of Parliament attended and the Minister for Housing sponsored and addressed the event. We are committed to work with the sector to build more social and affordable homes.
