Janet Jukes and Macca talk to Damien Patterson, Policy and Advocacy Officer, Council to Homeless Persons

Council to Homeless Persons (CHP) has called on the Victorian Government to fund safer housing solutions for transgender and gender-diverse Victorians experiencing homelessness, in
the upcoming state budget.

In its budget submission, Victoria's peak homelessness body highlights the urgent need for dedicated crisis and transitional housing facilities, alongside research and practice
development.

For just $15 million over four years, the government could make an enormous difference in the lives of transgender and gender-diverse people.
The submission calls for:
● $5.3 million in construction costs for a dedicated crisis-transitional housing facility
specifically
● $4.7 million over four years to run the facility
● $5 million over four years to be invested in research and practice development tailored
to the unique needs of this group
