Across Victoria, housing availability and affordability are becoming major challenges for many communities.
Rental vacancies are low, and many families are struggling to find homes they can afford.
Housing shortages also make it harder for local businesses, hospitals and schools to attract workers and grow their communities.
New data shows Victoria is now building fewer homes than before Labor’s housing announcement, falling tens of thousands behind its own targets.
When housing supply falls behind demand, regional communities feel the impact. Families struggle to find homes, and towns find it harder to grow.
Regional communities must be part of the conversation about housing solutions.

Finding a rental these days is a nightmare. Half our pay goes on rent and we’re still on waiting lists. Towns like ours can’t keep going like this.
Mia, Horsham
Businesses are struggling big time. Can’t get staff ‘cause there’s nowhere for them to live. Housing needs a proper fix, fast.
Ethan, Traralgon
Fewer homes being built now than before? Seriously? Prices just keep climbing. Families are getting pushed out of the towns they grew up in.
Clara S., Wangaratta
It’s not just about houses, it’s schools and hospitals too. Staff can’t find anywhere to live, and our town suffers. Something’s gotta give.
Noah, Sale
