Housing Reserve Fund changes Debate

Economic Benefits - Costs

Option 1

Residents supporting Option 1 argue that there is no need to change the current purpose of the Housing Reserve Fund as it is already effectively supporting social and affordable housing projects. They express concerns that broadening the fund's purpose to include vulnerable housing support could lead to quicker depletion of resources, potentially compromising long-term housing strategies. Additionally, some residents believe that providing housing for the vulnerable is the responsibility of the central government, not the local council, suggesting that the council should instead support existing organizations that specialize in this area.

939.4	Not the job of Council to find housing for the vunerable. Thats central Govt role. Leave it to organisations such as Habitat for Humanity, and support them however you can.
1017.4	Against broadening the purpose of the Housing Reserve Fund.Support the proposed 50# affordable homes, 50% social housing in the CBD.
1100.3	Don't rob sound long-term housing planning for band-aid bottom-of-cliff solutions that just allow creaking central government failures to endure.
