Issue:
This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly that Victoria is in a housing crisis, with more people facing homelessness, housing insecurity, and financial stress due to rising housing costs. Housing supply has not kept pace with demand, leaving many Victorians without access to affordable, secure, and safe housing. The Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 protects various human rights, but it does not explicitly recognise housing as a basic human right. This gap leaves many Victorians without adequate legal protection or recourse when facing housing difficulties. All Victorians should have safe, secure and affordable housing.
Action:
The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly amend the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 to include the right to housing.
