Affordable Housing – Essential for everyone!

05/02/2014

fairbruary

Dear Colleague,
As part of our FAIRbruary campaign, NCOSS is seeking the sector’s support for the affordable housing proposals in our 2014-15 Pre Budget Submission.
We seek your assistance in spreading the word about our campaign by including the following text in your forthcoming newsletters or member bulletins.

Alison Peters
CEO

Suggested text follows:

There is ample evidence that low income households in NSW are finding it increasingly difficult to secure rental housing that is affordable, secure and appropriate to their needs. This in turn limits their ability to obtain and retain paid employment, access education and training, and build a better life for themselves and their dependents.This is a problem that has developed over an extended period of time but the time has come for positive action.

As part of its FAIRbruary campaign, NCOSS is seeking support from the sector for the affordable housing proposals set out in our Pre-Budget Submission.

These proposals include:

  • a formal four year plan with numerical targets to increase the supply of social and affordable housing;
  • encouraging investment in innovative housing responses by community housing providers; and
  • recognising social housing as an integral part of the NSW Government’s infrastructure agenda.

NCOSS is calling on local services to raise these proposals with local state MPs; other organisations to email the Premier and relevant Ministers; and for as many organisations as possible to make a submission to the Legislative Council’s Select Committee on Social, Public and Affordable Housing.
Background material for all these actions appears on the NCOSS FAIRbruary website:
