All consideration of the PHRP must be situated within the context of housing need in Melbourne and Victoria more broadly. There is a significant unmet need for affordable housing, defined as housing affordable to very low, low and moderate-income households. The current PHRP seeks to redevelop older public housing homes and create more social housing properties across metropolitan and regional sites. The first stage will redevelop 1,100 aging public housing properties across nine sites in Melbourne and will include a mix of social and private housing.
