By outlining the unique challenges older renters face, this submission underscores the urgency for a specialised, multi-faceted approach to housing support for older people.
Today’s housing landscape presents critical challenges for older renters, who represent a growing and diverse demographic with specialised, and often intersecting, needs. This submission seeks to advocate for a renter service model that considers the housing needs of older people as crucial elements to the ongoing health, safety, and quality of life for ageing Victorians.
The rising costs of living, limited affordable housing, and digital accessibility barriers create unique challenges for older renters that, if left unaddressed, will continue to lead to profound impacts on the well-being and stability of Victoria’s growing population of older people.
