More and more Victorians are feeling the impacts of the state’s growing housing crisis. That’s why the Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner is interested in addressing the associated legal problems. We asked consumer rights advocate and lawyer Gerard Brody to explore the legal sector’s role in improving housing security in Victoria.

Advancing housing justice: The opportunity for legal services to improve access to housing is the resulting report. It explores:

• how legal services might work together to improve the housing crisis in Victoria
• the potential for legal organisations to influence reform or systemic change
• the gaps and opportunities to enhance existing legal work in the housing sector
• the value the VLSB+C’s Grants Program can add to this work.
