Homelessness and housing stress are growing challenges in Greater Dandenong, where many residents face barriers to accessing safe, secure, and affordable housing.
Council is working with partners to improve housing outcomes through advocacy, service coordination, and strategic planning. The Greater Dandenong Housing Strategy 2014-24 provides direction to plan for the sustainable supply of housing in the city.
These efforts aim to reduce homelessness, increase the supply of social and affordable housing, and support residents to live with dignity and stability.
