In line with this resolution, Council is now undertaking targeted engagement with key stakeholders on the Draft Monash Affordable Housing Strategy(PDF, 2MB)
Rising house prices and rents, and limited investment in social and affordable housing, have led to a dramatic increase in the number of households experiencing housing stress in Monash. In response, Council has developed an Affordable Housing Strategy.
The strategy makes a clear case for taking action to increase the provision of affordable housing in Monash. It also demonstrates the need for affordable housing, and the social and economic benefits of having more affordable housing.
