Great news for Victorian homeless with the announcement today a program to shelter homeless Victorians in hotels during the coronavirus pandemic has been extended until April next year, with calls to make the program permanent.
Around 7,000 homeless people were given shelter through the program with benefits not only being shelter and safety, but as reported by ABC social workers said by having their clients in one location, they could make much faster progress putting them on a path to permanent accommodation.
The news comes just one week before Homelessness Week (August 2 -7), the theme this year being Everyone Needs A Home.
