”Victoria has 32,000 people on its public housing waiting list - and support services say the state is facing a huge housing crisis. Now homeless people have been told they're about to be evicted from 15 vacant houses acquired for Melbourne's failed East West Link project. They've been living in the properties for most of this year, but the State Government says it's time they left.”

The Homeless Persons Union of Victoria and supporters have been occupying six disused properties in Bendigo Street Collingwood since March 30th 2016. The houses were originally purchased by the Victorian state government so that they could be demolished as part of the East-West Link tollway project which was scrapped following a hard fought campaign of opposition including daily pickets which disrupted preparatory work in 2014. Since then these six houses have remained empty. Following the eviction of squatters from one of the properties the HPUV launched an ongoing occupation.
