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.
These efforts aim to reduce homelessness, increase the supply of social and affordable housing, and support vulnerable residents to live with dignity and stability.
A regional alliance is calling for urgent action for more social housing to end homelessness.
Having a home is essential to a person’s health and wellbeing, however not all Australians have a safe and affordable housing.
The absence of a home, what we call homelessness, is a deeply distressing and isolating experience.
Dandenong Zero started in July 2022 and is a collaboration between the Greater Dandenong City Council and Launch Housing.
Poverty is everyone's business we all have a role to play.
