Shelter SA advocates for improved housing outcomes for South Australians who are living on low incomes and in housing need.

Our advocacy aims to influence policy, legislative, funding and service delivery decisions within political, economic and social systems and institutions. Our advocacy includes media campaigns, public speaking, research and community engagement to promote public debate and raise awareness about housing affordability.

Advocacy in all its forms seeks to ensure that people, particularly those citizens who are in need and are most vulnerable in society, are able to:

  • Have their needs included in decisions that affect them
  • Defend and safeguard their rights
  • Have their voices genuinely considered when decisions are being made about them

Policies and legislation shape the way institutions and organisations operate and can have a huge impact on people’s everyday lives. Policies are used to determine eligibility for services, provision of resources, and determining courses of action. Shelter SA informs and recommends policy changes or resists policy changes, where needed. View Shelter SA's Policy Position

We need certainty in the funding for social and affordable housing which the HAFF can do, but we also need a response that adequately responds to the backlog and the current crisis. This isn't prevaricating - it is about ambition and bravery.

Anthony Albanese’s signature $10bn Housing Australia Future Fund is facing defeat in the Senate amid a crossbench revolt fuelled by warnings from experts that not enough is being done to avert a “perfect storm” rental and housing crisis. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/politics/anthony-albaneses-10bn-housing-australia-future-fund-facing-defeat-in-the-senate/news-story/0012ea3df57c776454829e735b536f27
