A budget of missed opportunity – not fit for the challenging times we live in<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While there are some specific encouraging announcements related to housing security in yesterday\u2019s NSW 2020-21 Budget, overall Shelter NSW is very disappointed and concerned with the response. It is a budget of missed opportunity and not fit for the challenging times we live in.
We give the Budget a \u2018B-\u2018. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
With less than a $1 billion investment in social housing over 4 years, the NSW Government has missed the opportunity to make real, broadly applied and long-term improvements for housing security, especially for low and very low-income earners. This is at a time when the Government\u2019s own data forecasts rising and damaging unemployment. In doing so, it has also missed the opportunity to inject significant and targeted economic stimulus into the residential construction industry, supporting thousands of jobs.
We welcome the commitment to extend the support of overtly homeless people, the so-called \u2018rough sleepers\u2019 \u2013 expanding the successful Together Home<\/em> program. But we fear this program and the social housing list will be swamped as unemployment, evictions and poverty increases.
