The Morrison coalition government works in partnership with state and territory governments, who have primary responsibility for housing and homelessness. The Morrison government spends $6 billion every year on improving housing and homelessness outcomes for all Australians through Commonwealth rent assistance and the National Housing and Homelessness Agreement with the states. Shortly the government will announce the successful applicants to the Safe Places grant program, which will add emergency housing supply for women and children escaping domestic violence.
