flag Victoria’s social housing crisis deepens, with 66,117 on waitlists and no clear target in a 10-year housing plan.

flag Victoria’s social housing crisis has worsened, with 66,117 people on the waiting list as of March 2025—a 7.35% increase from the prior year—driven by decades of underfunding. flag Priority applicants, including those fleeing family violence, wait over 19 months on average, while median rents rose 3.9% and more than 10,000 people monthly turn to homelessness services, the highest rate nationally. flag The state has the lowest share of social housing in Australia at just 3%. flag Despite a government plan to build 800,000 homes in ten years, no specific social housing target was set. flag The Council to Homeless Persons urges the government to build at least 4,000 social homes annually and establish quotas in high-traffic areas, warning that ongoing population growth, aging infrastructure, and slow construction continue to deepen the crisis.
