CHP's reaction to the Federal Budget

Council to Homeless Persons (CHP) reaction to the Federal Budget

On Tuesday night the Treasurer handed down the much anticipated Federal Budget 2017-18.

As a sector, we are celebrating the Federal Government having maintained the existing levels of homelessness funding, and the increased certainty of that funding, but have expressed concern that the additional investment needed to cope with the demand crisis was missing.

Watch this video of Jenny Smith giving a Budget reaction on behalf of Homelessness Australia, and read the Homelessness Australia media release, and read on for deeper analysis of Budget papers.
