Anyone can need affordable rental housing during their life. Affordable housing is for anyone in our community who is part of a very low, low or moderate income household.
Our research shows that for every $1 invested in affordable housing, the community benefits by $3 due to worker retention, educational benefits, enhanced human capital, health cost savings, reduced family violence and crime. It is an investment in both essential infrastructure and people.
The City of Melbourne is a national leader in local government responses to affordable housing.
We work across the entire housing spectrum and support people who need temporary housing responses and secure long-term housing.
