Join Our Petition!
Please join our petition to the City of Greater Geelong.
There are over 7,000 households on priority applications on the Victorian Housing Register (VHR) in the Barwon broadbands. This petition is to support the urgency of building public and community housing, as housing ends homelessness. The Barwon Homelessness Network is seeking your support. Will you sign this petition?
National Homelessness Week (4-10 August)
The Barwon and South West Homelessness Network (BSWHN) is part of the Houses at Parliament Homelessness Week campaign. Homelessness week starts next week and we are over halfway there.
This is a Victoria-wide campaign so join with us and our colleagues around Victorian in the call for more public and community housing to end homelessness and a national plan to end homelessness.
BSWHN Houses at Parliament- let me know what you have planned?
There are events planned across our region that are listed on the Victorian Homelessness Network.
