Council is a member of the Eastern Affordable Housing Alliance (EAHA), a collaboration with the cities of Knox, Manningham, Maroondah, Monash and Yarra Ranges. The EAHA aims to ensure that the most disadvantaged people in the Eastern Metropolitan Region (EMR) have access to safe, secure and affordable housing.
As many of the factors influencing housing affordability are beyond the control of local government, the EAHA advocates the State and Federal Government for investment and policies to increase the supply of social and affordable housing in our region.
