Affordable Housing and Homelessness Commitment

The City of Hobart's strategic priorities and organisational activities in relation to housing and homelessness have been identified in the Affordable Housing and Homelessness Commitment 2021-23. This Commitment has been developed after extensive community, sector and government consultation and builds on the work delivered by the City through the implementation of the Housing and Homeless Strategy 2016-19.

The current Commitment, which is currently under review as part of the development of a new iteration, has focused on the priority areas of Participation and Access, Wellbeing and Knowledge, Safety and Resilience, and Planning and Partnerships. These priority areas align with the City's strategic documents and provide a framework for specific actions. As well as these priority areas the City has committed to undertaking the roles of Advocating, Communicating, Connecting, Facilitating, Leading, Managing and acting as Planning Authority in order to achieve the actions identified within the Commitment.

The actions identified within the Commitment are focused on collaboration and cooperation with all levels of government, as well as with the housing and homelessness sector and most importantly, with people who have a lived experience of housing stress or homelessness.
